What is it?
Kianga Land is the name for area that houses the Infant through 2-year old classrooms. The word Kianga is Swahili meaning, “bursts of sunshine”. KIANGA LAND is a place where infants and toddlers will experience a safe and loving environment while they learn about their wonderful Creator through songs, play, and bible stories.
How are the rooms set up?
There is an Infant room, a Crawlers/Early Walkers room, a Walkers room and a Runners room. Each room is staffed with at least two workers each service.
How are the children kept safe?
Each parent is equipped with a security number as they drop off their child, and their child is only given back when the security number is returned. Parents must label their child’s diaper bag/belongings so that there is no confusion regarding child’s possessions. Staff will do the very best to accommodate each child’s feeding/sleeping/play schedule according to parent instructions.
What do they do in Kianga Land?
- Infants/Crawlers (Newborns up to beginning walkers) – Babies are loved and played with by caring volunteers/parents; fed if necessary, rocked, put to sleep, diapers changed, etc.
- Walkers (1-year olds, walking confidently) – Children are loved and played with by caring volunteers/parents; they eat snack and pray together; they engage in music and songs of worship; they do a simple craft or coloring page; they have story time where they hear God’s word. Diapers are also changed at this age.
- Runners (2-year olds) - Children are loved and played with by caring volunteers/parents; they eat snack and pray together; they engage in music and songs of worship; they do a simple craft or coloring page, they learn Biblical truths from the weeks lesson/story. Parents are called for dirty diapers/potty training accidents at this age because this room is not equipped with changing table/diapers.
