Preteen
[2-5 years]
Children are in a fun, safe, age-appropriate environment where they can make friends and learn about God.
[K-3rd grade]
Children learn how to study the Bible, worship through singing, and build quality friendships with other kids and adult leaders.
[4 & 5th grade]
The preteen years are a time to transition — kids are engaging with God's truth as they learn to develop a faith of their own.
Ridge Kids is all about creating a safe, fun, and engaging place where children ages 6 months through 5th grade can discover who Jesus is—right at their level. Every Sunday is designed to be an adventure-filled with learning, laughter, and growth for your kids!

Your Child's Safety Matters:
We prioritize your child’s safety above all else. Every volunteer undergoes a thorough background check, and classrooms are equipped with security cameras to ensure a secure and welcoming environment for everyone.
Join us this Sunday—where faith and fun come together!

Nursery
[6-24 months]
Babies know when they are being genuinely comforted, and we feel this is the earliest way to demonstrate God’s love to them.

Ridge Kids Special Needs Ministry
The mission of our Special Needs Ministry at Chestnut Ridge Church is to help every child grow in their relationship with God and with others, while also caring for their unique needs and supporting their families.
We’d love the opportunity to get to know your child and family better before your first visit—so we can create the best possible experience for you.

During which services is Ridge Kids available?
We offer Ridge Kids during our 9:00a + 11:00a in-person services as well as offer age-specific content on our YouTube channel.
When is my child promoted to the next room?
For school-age children, each child is promoted in June after the school year is completed. In your preschool environments, children are promoted twice a year—in January and June based on their birthday.
What is the well child policy?
For the safety + wellness of all, children who show signs of sickness will not be allowed into the Ridge Kids environment. We require that children be fever-free for 24 hours (without the use of fever-reducing medications). This is for the health and protection of all children, families, and volunteers. If an illness is discovered after a child is in the environment, your child will be separated from the other children and a member of our team will contact you.
