Thanks for your take on the issue. After thinking about the issue a little more, I would agree with you that the worship time should be spent with the rest of the congregation.
I found a helpful article written by Tom Ascol (a Reformed Baptist) that I thought I would post here.

As I think of my experience with Children's Church through out the years, especially when my children were young. Every single Church up until now had Children's Church.
Something that stood out to me, is the fact the people in charge of teaching the children never got a chance to worship and listen the sermons with the rest of the congregation.
I think this is a real shame, regardless of whether that person was an elder or not.
