Expectation Kids

• During Service 1 (9:45am), we have a full Expectation Kids Program along with a space for Parents & Tots.
• During Service 2 (11:15am), we offer a space for Parents & Tots - this is unsupervised so parents must stay with their little one(s). We don’t have a full Expectation Kids Program during Service 2 at this time.

Expectation Kids covers children from Preschool (ages 3) through to primary school (up to age 12/13).

Children are grouped into three age levels with age-appropriate teaching & activities designed for each group;

• Pre-school to Senior Infants
• 1st to 3rd Class
• 4th to 6th Class

For Secondary School ages, click here for information on our Youth Group, ‘Expectation FUTURE’.

No advance registration is required! You can just register your child at the Expectation Kids Registration Desk when you arrive at church.

Check-in takes place at our Expectation Kids Registration Desk outside Screens 9 & 10 (it’s to the right when you enter the foyer!)

Once you’ve signed your child in with our team, you will receive a ticket with your child’s name on it. For safeguarding, only the person holding this ticket may collect the child.

Expectation Kids runs for the duration of the main worship service, typically about 1 hour 15 mins. You can register your child 10 minutes before service starts.

While we encourage parents to enjoy the service, you are more than welcome to stay if your child needs you.

Yes, a small snack and juice are provided.

The safety of your children is of the utmost importance to us. All our Expectation Kids volunteers are garda-vetted and trained in child safety. Expectation Kids rooms are secure and parents receive a unique pickup ticket to collect their child after the service.

We welcome children with additional needs. Our team are committed to doing our best to support every child in our care. Please reach out to our Team in advance so we can prepare for how best to support your child.
