Where to find Inspiration for your Children's Area

Toddler Play Area with 3D Sculptures and 2D Appliqués


We have a talented crew here at Worlds of Wow to help translate your visions and ideas to paper; if you're looking for some inspiration, we have a few places in mind.



 1. Amusement Parks – What creates the sense of excitement when you’re there? Sounds? Smells? How do they direct you to each attraction? What rides are the most popular and why? What peripheral activities attract kids? 

 2. Children’s Museums – Interactivity is king here. Note the play features that draw kids and why. How can you incorporate similar type gadgets and gizmos for kids to interact with each week? 

 3. Other Churches – See the newly built facilities and others that have been remodeled? What can you incorporate? It’s also helpful to see a few different denominations to get some different perspectives. 

 4. TV – Watch a few of the shows that the kids are watching. What are the backdrops? What media are they using? Colors being used?

A Little Bit of Theming and Play Goes a Long Way!

   3:46 PM       Anonymous

Theming and Play Make a Difference


There are many avenues for a church to connect with the local community and increase attendance. It is often said that if kids are happy, mom and dad are happy. By creating an inviting environment for preschool, elementary and student ministries, more children will want to attend, more families will feel valued by the church and your ministry will grow. 



"We experienced a 35% increase in overall attendance. The increase is attributed to the new facility environment which includes spaces, great decor, state-of-the-art security/check-in system and a super location."
- Ruth Charlson, Second Baptist Baytown



"It is not an uncommon sight to see families taking pictures of their children by the scenes. This has helped changed the attitude of workers and parents alike in a positive way."
-Mark Harrison, Spring Baptist Church
For both newly-constructed and remodeled churches, we have seen space dedicated to children's areas increase dramatically over the past several years. Simply said, a visible investment in your children's ministry sends a tangible message to your community that you care about kids and families. It's a testimony of the church commitment to their children. Churches across the country are creating dramatic, engaging environments for this very reason. Based on recent years' data, these churches are reporting incredible results, including doubling and triple-digit growth. Some have reported doubling their kids' attendance in a single year as a direct result of their children's ministry. In a nutshell, themed areas and play features lead to a growth in regular attendance and subsequent increases to membership.  
Churches across the country have proven that one of the best ways to minister to families and adults is through their kids. These churches are building children's ministries that create a buzz, cause a "Wow!" and successfully attract new guests. As the old saying goes, "You never get a second chance at a first impression." What message does your church send to your first-time guests? 

Contact us today to get started on your ridiculously, cool, fun environment for kids and families!

"TK'S Place is a unique facility that will simply make your jaw drop and say WOW. Worlds of Wow created this amazing environment that will help our children's ministry attract families throughout the lake area. There is nothing like this in Southwest Louisiana."


- Dawn Brand, Preschool Minister at Trinity Baptist Church

What to Consider When Theming Your Children's Area!

   4:13 PM       Anonymous



Security 

As you are working with your teams, it is important to keep security at the front of your conversations. Being able to control access is important. As parents walk through your hallways, they are looking around your environment and deciding if they think their kids will be safe. Relying on our experiences with other churches, we can evaluate places in your spaces that should be addressed. It may take moving a door or adding an entry point in a different spot - no need to worry -we can help!

Traffic Flow


Maintaining exit and entry points are crucial. We know cramped hallways can lead to unhappy folks! How do you maintain great traffic flow without creating bottlenecks? It may be easier than you think. We can look at your space, crunch some numbers and work out a plan. Our art department can create themed directional signs for your entire building that will help with traffic flow while adding high interest elements to your spaces.


Here are a few questions to share with your team...


How can we improve the level of security in our space? 
What can we do to improve the traffic flow in the hallways? 
What are some improvements we can make to the signage? 


Contact us today in order to start theming your children's ministry and student areas safely and effectively!

Where do I start?

   2:51 PM       Anonymous

Expertise, Relationship, Ministry Focus, Technology and Professionalism

Our hope is these words reflect every phase on every project in every situation when choosing Wow. Oftentimes we’re asked the question “How does a church start the process of working with Worlds of Wow?” Here’s a quick rundown of how we partner with you.





1. Initial Contact
Phone, email, text, face-to-face, video chat, however it happens this is how it all starts. So let’s talk. We love to visit with you about your space, dreams, ideas and vision.

2. Design Consultation
This gets the process really started. Once you sign our Design Agreement we do an onsite and/or virtual consult to generate our Creative Brief. This is where we get familiar with your space, facility, vision, style, budget and more. Typically it’s a one-day visit that includes lots of meetings and lots of fun!



3. Artwork Phase
This is where your dreams and ideas come to life on paper. We start with rough black & white sketches and seek your feedback. Sometimes we hit a home run the very first round, sometimes it takes a few rounds of renderings to get it just right. We then wrap up this phase with the Production Agreement, basically the written  document of what’s in the renderings and the work we’ll be doing for you (and the fun part – the price!).

4. Pre-Production Phase
Our Pre-Production team takes the signed Production Agreement and starts thinking through every element’s placement, look and construction. Lots of theme and play focused questions in this phase along with some production renderings for you to approve.

5. Production Phase
Now we’re making your items. Coordinating with your contractor, our install team and your church as we are producing the 2D appliqués, 3D elements and play attractions.

6. Installation Phase
Our install team is coordinated, the items are shipped to your site and the install begins. The size of project always dictates actual time on site, but typically it’s about 12-14 days. We work 10-12 hours per day but not on Sunday. This is a really fun time for you to see the transformation taking place. By the way, our on site crews are the best around. You will love them. The Final Sign Off form is what both you and Wow are looking for to complete the project. We want you to be happy, very happy.


                                       


7. Enjoyment phase!
This is where you and your team enjoy the fabulous environment that Worlds of Wow has created. Remember, our mission is to transform the way churches reach the next generation!


If you have any questions or need anything at all, contact us, we’re here for you!
