Time for Tots

Time for Tots welcomes caregivers and their young children for a 90-minute program centered on Bible stories and faith. Designed for ages 5 and under (older siblings welcome too), the session balances structured and unstructured activities: the first half hour includes free play so adults can connect over coffee while children interact, followed by circle time with songs and stories, a thematic snack, and a craft project to take home. The final 20 minutes are dedicated to outdoor play and gym time in spaces designed for early learners. The program runs Thursday mornings throughout the school year, and families can join at any point. Zion Lutheran Church asks for a $30 donation per family per semester to help cover materials. This program is built around strengthening both your child's understanding of faith and your relationship with them—whether you're a parent, grandparent, nanny, or another caregiver. New families are always welcome to start anytime during the year.
