Information about the 2018 fall semester of ZONE will be coming in August. In the meantime contact nick.ransom@cor.org with any questions.

ZONE is a fun, interactive program on Wednesday nights from 6:15-7:30 for children in kindergarten - 4th grade. Each year we have two semesters, one in the fall and one in the winter/spring.

The program includes small group time, large group dramas, praise & worship and rotational activities (snacks, games, etc.) each week. Children are divided up into small groups with an adult leader for the entire semester. Kids spend each Wednesday evening with their small group participating in different activities and getting to know each other. At the close of the night, each small group spends time journaling together in their faith journals (provided).

Cost for ZONE is $20 (scholarships available).

Serve At ZONE: ZONE could not operate without awesome youth and adult leaders serving each week. Here are some of the volunteer opportunities at ZONE:

• Small Group Leader: Spend each night of ZONE with the same 6 or so kids. Guide them through the night of ZONE. At the end of each night you’ll spend about 15 minutes doing some faith journaling together. (We provide the journals)
• Station Leader: Lead 20 or so kids (with the help of other leaders) in a game, snack, or project that relates to the lesson of the night. All supplies and station activities are provided.
• Admin Help: We have all types of behind the scenes help from check-in to purchasing and organizing supplies.

2018-19 school year enrollment going on now!

KiDSCOR Early Learning Program is an early childhood education program designed for children ages 2-5. It is supportive of each child's spiritual, physical, social, emotional and cognitive growth.

The High Scope early childhood curriculum is implemented in the program. Through a variety of developmentally appropriate experiences in art, music and movement, science, literature and math, children learn what they need to know and be able to do to be successful lifelong learners.

Our emphasis is on helping each child discover his/her interests and abilities. The teaching staff provides a warm, nurturing environment where each child can grow in confidence knowing that she is safe and loved. Classes are large enough to provide children with opportunities to make friends, and small enough to give each child individual attention.

Learning what it means to be a Christian is incorporated into weekly chapel times and throughout the school day as teachers expose the children to prayers, Bible stories and songs. Christian principles are woven into the fabric of every day and every interaction among children and adults.

The Kindermusik home materials bring the music, activities, and each month’s story everywhere you go. The repetition enhances the learning—and the fun!
