Southview Kids - Southview Church

Welcome to Southview Kids!

We believe that each child is created to have a relationship with God with unique talents and abilities. Our hope is that each child will have an insatiable interest to be a part of God’s church. We recognize that no one has more influence over a child than their parents. Because of this, we believe that what happens at home is much more important than what happens at church. We are committed to partnering with parents and giving them the tools they need to support their kids spiritually.

SAC Kids is a fun, exciting and secure environment. Each servant volunteer has been screened and reviewed our policies and emergency procedures. Our check-in system provides identification and allows us to contact you during our programs via text message.

NURSERY

We provide a safe and caring Nursery for our infants and toddlers and a Nursing Room for nursing mothers and infants. All areas in the Nursery are equipped with a live video feed of the service. A change table and microwave are also available for your convenience.

PRESCHOOL (AGE 2 - KINDERGARTEN)

A good start can make all the difference in the world for your child. As they begin their experience with God, kids need the opportunity to develop their sense of wonder. Through hands-on play, children focus on one key truth each week.

GRADES 1-4

Kids keep growing and so does their desire to discover. Children in Grades 1-4 participate in hands-on workshops and creative worship moments with a constant group of friends. More information about our grade school programs can be found on the Realm Grade School Parent Group.

CLUB 56

Our weekend program for kids in Grade 5 & 6. In this program kids will participate in Big God Story lessons, games, music, and life application to go deeper into and begin the transition into owning their faith. This class is a fun filled way to explore meaningful ways to serve God and others through their prayers, time and talents.

CORE

We will not be offering CORE (our mid-week discipleship program for Grade 1-6) this fall. We still want to provide support for your family to continue discipleship at home, so here are some resources. We recommend the 5-Minute Family Devotionals (Right Now Media), the D6 Family App and the Bible App for Kids.

Southview Kids Registration

Realm Account

Prior to your first visit, please set up a Southview Realm account. Having an account allows you to not only check your kids into SAC Kids, but also to register for other church events and programs. Make sure to add all your family members to your profile and include any allergies.

Checking In

SAC Kids Check In opens 15 minutes prior to the start of the service and will remain open until 15 minutes after the start of services. If this is your first time, plan to fill out a registration card at the counter and our attendants will enter your information into our system and check in your child.

Where to Go

After completing check in, Nursery to Kindergarten can be dropped off in their rooms in the Kids Cardo wing. Pick up of your child will require your parent card/tag in the room you dropped them off in.

Grades 1-4 can be dropped off in our Legacy Centre. Pick up will take place upstairs in the Legacy Wing and will require your parent card / tag.

Grades 5 & 6 will proceed by themselves to Legacy rooms 5 & 6 upstairs. They will be released at the end of the service and do not require pick up. After your first visit, check in will be done in this room by the student.

Parent Resources

No one has more influence over a child than his or her parents. Each year, we spend about 40 hours with your kids in church, but you spend over 3000 at home! Because of this, we believe what happens at home is more important than what happens at church. We are committed to partnering with parents by giving them the tools to support their kids spiritually.

My Realm Account

Our primary means of communication is through your Realm Account. By joining one of our Realm Parent Groups, you will receive the most up-to-date news and latest tools to spiritually support your family.

Family Communion

On select weekends in October, November, February, March, May & June, Grades 1-6 classes will not take place so you can enjoy the service with your kids and take Communion as a family.
