About Our Nursery
Times Available
10:30am - 12:00pm
What age children can come to the nursery?
We gladly and lovingly welcome children ages birth
to 4 years.
If my kids have a little cold can I still bring them?
We operate a well-baby nursery. For the protection of all the children
in our ministry we cannot accept a child with a runny nose, fresh cold
(four days or less), fever, rash, persistent cough, diarrhea or any
other signs of illness. We request that you not place your child in
the program while they are at risk of exposing other children. Thank
you in advance for helping us keep our children's program a healthy
place for all.
Should I leave anything with the nursery staff?
When packing a diaper bag for your child, please include the following
items:
•Two or three disposable diapers
•Pacifier or other item, should your child need it for security
•A complete change of clothes in case your child would require
that
•A bottle of milk, formula, juice or water (This is a good practice
even for mothers who nurse)
Please label all personal items with your child's first and last name
before arriving at your child's class. This helps us keep track of your
child's items.
Do I have to talk to someone in the nursery before I
drop my kid(s) off?
A leader will meet you at the nursery to receive your child and any
other necessary items. Please check in and note any information that
will help in caring for your child such as feeding times, sleeping times,
allergies and special needs. Snacks are available in the nursery consisting
of water and Cheerios or vanilla wafers. If your child has an allergy,
please inform the leader when you check in your child.
I don't leave my kid(s) often and it's so hard to say
good-bye.
I'm worried they won't stop crying. Help!
After you have completed the check-in process, simply wave a quick
good-bye and leave for the worship service. As you know, it is normal
for little ones to cry when leaving a parent. This does not last long,
and separation becomes easier over time. Our leaders will immediately
try to create interest in a toy or activity and give assurance that
you will return after the worship service is completed. If your child
cries for an extended period of time of 10 minutes, we will send someone
to notify you.
What if I want to check on my child when they are in
the nursery?
Feel free to check on your little one at any time during the worship
service. However, we ask that you do so discreetly, trying not to let
your child see you.
