Our Childcare Mission
We know that a huge part of being able to relax and enjoy your morning is knowing that your children are safe and happy. Our SideKix Childcare ministry serves children, ages 6 months and older, for a modest fee with scholarships readily available to those experiencing financial hardship.
The mission of Side By Side’s SideKix Childcare ministry is to provide a safe, loving, and nurturing environment for children to socialize and participate in weekly Bible lessons with their peers, enabling mothers to meaningfully worship and connect during small group study sessions.
For any questions about our childcare program, please contact our Childcare Coordinator, Katie Welle.

Arrival and Routine
Childcare drop off is from 9:00-9:20am in the childcare wing beyond Door 2 when entering the building of Autumn Ridge Church. Arriving on time is especially important for your children to provide a smooth transition and prevent difficulties of joining a group already in progress. It is just as important to promptly pick-up your child near 11:00am out of consideration of our childcare volunteers.
Children are placed in age appropriate rooms to learn and grow with their peers, receive weekly Bible lessons, participate in an activity or craft, enjoy music time, and get their energy out in the gym or on the playground.

Allergies
We take allergies very seriously. All volunteers are aware of the allergies of the children they work with each week. We ask parents to be respectful of this matter and not allow their children to bring any food or drink into the classrooms.
Payment
Childcare is divided into two semesters, Fall and Spring, with corresponding fees divided into two separate payments for your convenience. Childcare fees are collected at the beginning of each semester (September and January) and are based on your number of children registered.
Childcare scholarships are granted upon request. If you need financial assistance, all you have to do is ask or indicate so when you register.

Drop-In Childcare
Our SideKix Childcare program accepts drop-in attendees when space is available. If you choose to use this option, you must email our Childcare Coordinator, Katie Welle, in advance at [email protected] so that we can ensure appropriate staffing to child ratios and gather pertinent information about the drop-in child(ren). If you are able, our suggested donation rates are $5 per one child and $10 for two or more children. You can pay cash in-person or below.
