Your kids get their own New Year's Eve
While you worship in the Glory House on December 31, your children have the best night of their year in our gym building, with background-checked adults in every room. Every night is free.
Check-in and pickup
| 8:00 PM service | 10:30 PM service | |
|---|---|---|
| Check-in opens | 7:00 PM | 9:55 PM |
| Pickup | 9:40 to 10:00 PM | 12:15 to 12:45 AM |
Check-in is on the main entry level of the gym building. Little Lights stays on that level, so little ones never take a stair. The Big Bounce and The Drop are one level down.
Five things to know
- Add your kids when you reserve. It takes one minute. Each service has room for about 250 children.
- Keep your matching tag. Only the adult holding it can pick up. Lost it? Bring your ID to the Parent Desk.
- Tell us about allergies and needs. They print on your child's tag. Snacks are made without peanuts or tree nuts, with labels posted; children with severe allergies may bring their own snack. For extra support, call us by December 22.
- Bring a labeled diaper bag for little ones, your child's own epinephrine or inhaler if needed (you sign an authorization at check-in), warm coats, and pajamas for the 10:30 PM service.
- Keep your phone on. If your child needs you, we page you right away.
How we keep your child safe
- At least two background-checked adults in every room. No volunteer is ever alone with a child, including restroom trips.
- Secure check-in with matching tags, and a screened adult at every stairwell and outside door.
- Every inflatable is staffed by a trained attendant and approved for our space by the fire marshal. Clean music only.
- In the kids building, we photograph children only with the release you sign at check-in. The services stream live.
- If we ever evacuate, your child stays with their leaders. Bring your matching tag to the reunification table in the Glory House foyer, or wherever our team directs you.
Parent questions
Where do my kids go?
Our gym building becomes theirs. The Drop for 6th to 12th grade, The Big Bounce for kindergarten to 5th grade, and Little Lights for birth to 5 years, including our Wee-Zone nursery. Every night is free.
When is kids check-in and pickup?
Check-in opens at 7:00 PM for the 8:00 PM service and 9:55 PM for the 10:30 PM service. Pickup is 9:40 to 10:00 PM, or 12:15 to 12:45 AM.
Are my kids safe?
Every room has at least two background-checked adults. Check-in is secure with matching tags, and only the adult with the matching tag picks up. A screened adult stands at every stairwell and outside door. If we ever evacuate, your child stays with their leaders, and you bring your tag to the reunification table in the Glory House foyer, or wherever our team directs you.
Can my children sit with me instead?
Yes. Children are always welcome to worship with their parents.
What about allergies and special needs?
Tell us at check-in and it prints on your child's tag. Snacks are made without peanuts or tree nuts and labels are posted, but we can't promise an allergen-free kitchen, so children with severe allergies may bring their own snack. A calm room is ready for any child who needs a quieter space. For extra support, call 404.207.1481 by December 22.
