After School Care & Summer Adventures

ASC/SA Pick-up Procedure

Pick up will begin in the breezeway at 4:30 pm. A staff member will greet you and call for your child. If you come to pick your child up before 4:30 pm, please ring the buzzer beside the door and your child will be walked down. Children will not be allowed to leave the church by themselves. Only family members and contacts listed on the registration form will be allowed to pick up children. To ensure maximum security and safety of your child, you may be required to show picture identification.

​Snacks

An afternoon snack is provided every day. If a child does not like what is offered or has food allergies, please send a snack from home. It is important that children who want a snack understand that snack is only available during snack time. During all-day care, a morning snack will be provided as well as an afternoon snack, but lunch must be brought from home.

Homework

Children may do their homework in a quiet area.  Please let staff know if you prefer your child do homework after snack.

Discipline

The majority of misbehavior is managed by verbal reprimand, redirecting behavior and teaching an alternate appropriate behavior. Unusual occurrences will be handled by the ASC Director or in some cases the CMB. If necessary, parent conferences may be scheduled. Behavior that cannot be appropriately managed by ASC staff may result in expulsion from the program. If your child is suspended from school for disciplinary reasons, he/she is not allowed to come to ASC during the suspension.

Transportation

FBC provides bus transportation from the following schools: South Smithfield Elementary, ALA, Neuse Charter Elementary, Fours Oaks Elementary, and Princeton Elementary. If enough students enroll to warrant travel to a school not listed, the ASC/SA Director will inform the Children’s Ministry Board and a decision will be made accordingly. All bus drivers are properly licensed and are at least 21 years old.

Health and Safety Policies and Procedures

Your child’s safety is very important to FBC. In order to enter the building, everyone is required to press a security button and be identified by ASC staff. Please make sure your child gets into the building safely. Please do not drop your child at FBC before 7:30 am or leave before you know your child has entered the building.

An FBC Medical Authorization Form is required at the time of registration. This form allows FBC ASC to seek medical attention for children if necessary. Please let us know if there are any special medical considerations for your child. If medical emergencies or accidents occur, ASC staff members will handle them as needed.

ASC will not administer medication to children except common first aid items like band aids and antiseptic without the authorization of a parent. Over-the-counter analgesics such as acetaminophen or ibuprofen to be dosed based on child’s weight or age according to label guidelines. Parental permission must be obtained through a phone call with each administration and documentation will be maintained on the medication log.

Children with fevers or contagious ailments will be sent home and should not return to FBC until they have been fever/symptom free for 24 hours without the aid of fever-reducing or anti-nausea medication. If a child misses school for sickness, the child is not allowed to come to First Baptist until they return to school.

If a child is sent home from school with lice, FBC should be notified and the child is not allowed to return to FBC until they are nit free. Please notify FBC of any health issues that may affect other children and families: lice, scabies, bed bugs, etc. Please be considerate of other children and staff when deciding whether or not to send your child to FBC with regard to illnesses.
