Breakthrough Kids is an inviting and inspiring space for kids to learn about Jesus and change the world.
The Nursery program at Breakthrough Kids welcomes the youngest members of our community, from newborns through age 2. Bring your little ones to join us in a safe and nurturing environment, where our loving volunteers will help soothe your child and encourage learning through lots of active play, Bible stories, and sing-alongs.
Our Preschool program offers a fun and inviting space for children from age 3 through those in kindergarten. In our engaging classroom setting, your young ones will make new friends and begin to build an early foundation of faith through song and dance, prayer, imaginative play and more, guided by our well-designed curriculum.
Our Elementary program provides a hands-on class for kids from first through fifth grade, where they’ll explore their relationship with Christ. Guided by our caring volunteer teachers, your child will learn how to apply the Bible to their daily life through art, prayer, critical discussion, creative experiments and more, all while developing team-building and leadership skills alongside their peers.

We’re here to help you and your child with a smooth transition throughout the check-in and drop-off process.
Your First Visit. Upon arrival, our friendly volunteers will direct you to the Breakthrough Kids kiosk, where your child will be entered into our check-in system. You’ll receive name tags with an assigned family number, which will be used to help you safely pick up your child after service. We’ll take you on a classroom tour to meet the volunteer(s), go through the flow of service, and answer any questions you have so you can rest assured your child is in good care.
Welcome Back! The next time you visit, you’ll simply check in with your phone number, print off your child’s numbered name tag, and bring your child to their classroom.
Please note, your family number changes weekly for safety purposes.
-
Please be sure to retain your assigned family number once name tags are generated at check-in. Our pick-up procedure uses a matching process to help ensure safety as you reunite with your child. After exiting service, return to your child’s classroom and simply present a parent tag with a family number matching the one printed on your child’s name tag to pick them up. Our volunteers will be present to assist. Please note, your family number changes weekly for safety purposes.
-
To ensure each child’s safety, children are not allowed to leave the classroom without their parent or caregiver presenting a numbered tag that matches the family number on their name tag. If your child needs you during the service, we’ll let you know by displaying your family number on the screens in the sanctuary. If you see your family number appear on the screen, please go to your child’s classroom.

Breakthrough Kids welcomes children of all ages, from newborn infants up to those in the fifth grade. Every week, we offer three programs designed with age-appropriate exploration and learning – Nursery, Preschool, and Grades 1–5. In each classroom, one of our volunteers will be ready to greet you at the door and help your child transition into a fun and inviting space. Two volunteers will be present in the room at all times – either two adults, or one adult and one youth (grade 6 or older) – until you are ready to pick up your child.
Nursery, newborns through age 2. Your little ones will be well-cared for in our Nursery program while you attend service.
