IF you already have people coming to your church for a preschool, after school program, sports activities, then you are already way ahead of the game. These are the people you will need to engage further – first!
But how? The parents of the preschoolers come and pick them up and fade back into the community. How can you leverage this for greater participation of the whole family?
Game nights for the preschoolers and their families: Build on the games. Music Programs, “Family Night Suppers”, Date Nights.
Anything you can offer these parents for “Free” to help them with growing these preschoolers to adults will encourage these parents to come see you more!
Have you invited the preschoolers to your Preschool Choir rehearsals? YOU DON’T HAVE A PRESCHOOL CHOIR???!!! That’s okay, now you do.
Do you provide dinner to the preschool families once a month on a Friday or Saturday night?
Do you provide a night where parents can drop off their kids for “Story Hour” while they have a date night?
How are you helping the parents of your preschoolers survive parenting?
You may have a static community now, but with the influx of new people to our nation, you will see incredible growth in your community soon! Also people are fleeing the cities. Heading to once rural communities to find a safe place for their families. Your preschool can be their gateway to your church community.
