I answered 'other' because 'childrens church' these days usually involves a total seperation of parents from children from the moment they walk in the church building door.
On the Sunday mornings that we do have children present (usually every other week) then they will go out for a lesson just before the sermon. Some do not think this is right, I am undecided. What I cannot justify is adults and children being seperated every moment in corporate worship.
If the lady that teaches the children is away, and I am preaching, I have them stay in and follow the sermon via pre-prepared worksheets that I create to run in harmony with what I am saying.
In the evening service my son is the only child who attends, and he sits all the way through - but he is getting to the age where that is a lot easier now (11)
