About Jr. EYC

Jr. EYC meets twice weekly, once combined with Sr. EYC on Sundays from 11:30AM-1:30PM and once on Wednesday from 5:45pm to 6:45pm. All Wednesday activities are more focused at Jr. EYCers by using games and interactive material. 

 The EYC room is opened with two adults (trained Safeguarding God’s Children) at 3:00PM and closes at 8:30PM .  We ask participants to please fill out a medical release form.
