Join us for VBS 2020!

Summer 2020 looks a bit different than we thought it would! Join us as we learn to focus our eyes on God. This year, we will have 2 options for VBS: in person (for Parma Kids Daycare students), and online.

 

For our in person VBS, Kids will spend mornings with their crews (their regular summer program/daycare classes) as they sing songs, play games, do crafts, hear a bible story, and even have a snack each day in a hands on way to learn about God’s love. This will be Monday, August 17 to Friday, August 21, 9:00AM to 12:00PM.

 

For our online VBS, we will be providing VBS in a box, with lesson resources, a couple crafts and other goodies. In addition, we will be creating videos for you to watch as a family- the bible story, the songs and other activities (how to play games and do the crafts). These will be released during the week of August 17. These will be released on our YouTube page. Make sure you subscribe to get notifications on when videos are released. We are likely going to open up a closed Facebook group for us to answer questions, share more, and have a place where you can share with us the fun you are having at home! You’ll also have a chance to win prizes!

 

We are also going to work on having an in person closing drive in program, so stay tuned for more information!

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What goes on at VBS?

A: The kids are doing many hands on activities, playing and discussing with each other, learning about God and His Love in a fun-filled and active environment. Children on grouped in “crews” along with their own “crew leader” who leads them to the various stations for fun activities. There is something for everyone: singing, dancing, crafts, stories, games, and snacks.

 

Q: What ages can attend VBS?

A: All ages! The program is for children ages 2 though 12, those who are toddlers through entering 6th grade. Jr High, High School students and adults serve as volunteers.

 

Q: Where is VBS?

A: In the comfort of your own home! We are going to do VBS online, and encourage you to sign up for this option. For our daycare students, they will be doing VBS at the daycare. We will stay in our classrooms, and our daycare teachers will be doing the rotations with the students.

 

Q: What are you doing to keep the kids safe during in person VBS?

A: Our daycare staff is following regulations set by OCFS (Office for Children and Family Services). Temperatures are taken daily of staff and children, rooms are limited to 15 students, and staffs wear masks. We are glad to answer any questions about our procedures.

 

Q: Is there a fee for Vacation Bible School? 

A: Nope! Vacation Bible School is totally free to attend. VBS runs on the donations of the staff and the church congregation. If you would like to donate toward VBS, you can do so here.

 

Q: Do I have to buy a t-shirt or any of the other products for sale?

A: No, not at all. The t-shirt is optional as is the CD. But they are a lot of fun and a great remembrance of your child’s week. (Plus they are a small fundraiser for VBS.)

 

Q: My child’s friend wants to attend but he goes to another church, or doesn’t go to church at all. Can he still participate?

A: Everyone is welcome to participate.

 

Q: Do I have to volunteer for my child to attend?

A: No. However, if you are interested in volunteering, we’d love your help! You can sign up to volunteer by filling out the Volunteer Registration Form.

 

Q: Can my child receive service hours for volunteering?

A: Yes, most places (such as high schools) also accept this for volunteer hours. If in doubt, please check with the organization requiring hours.

 

Q: When and how do I register?

A: Registration is open! You can click the images below to register. You can also fill out a paper copy, which you can find at Parma Kids Preschool.

 

Q: What are these other forms that I need to complete?

A: To be compliant with OCFS, the daycare and health forms need to be completed. If you have already completed the registration forms as part of the preschool or daycare program, you do not need to fill them out again. If this is your first time here, you will need to fill them out. *This is only for preschool students at Parma Kids.*

 

Q: Are there special requirements for adult volunteers?

A: No. All lead teachers are fingerprinted and cleared to be working with children through OCFS. Lead teachers are with their crews for the entire morning. If you want to help but are not able to be cleared in time, we will discuss your volunteer options with you.
