Nursery Overview
Nursery Pick-up/Drop-off
Please be sure to fill out a Family Information Page upon your first visit to the nursery. The Weekly Sign-In Sheet is to be completed each time your child arrives and leaves the nursery. Children are to be picked up immediately following the service.
Sick Children
Because of our concern for the health and well being of all the children, we ask that you do not bring your child to the nursery if they have a heavy cough or a continually runny nose. Children should be fever free for 24 hours before coming to the nursery.
Diaper Changes/Bathroom Procedures
Please change your child’s diaper or take your child to the bathroom before dropping them off in the nursery. Unless another preference is indicated on the Family Information Page, our workers will change wet and soiled diapers and take children to the bathroom as needed.
Snack
Children in the nursery may be offered a box of raisins and water as a snack during the 10:45 service. Please indicate on the Family Information Page if you would like your child to not be given a snack.
Crying Children
It can be hard to leave your child in the nursery when they are upset. We want you to feel confident and comfortable as you leave your child in our care. Our workers will do their best to comfort your child, however if they are unconsolable, we will contact you.
Contact
If we need to contact you during the service we will do so according to the preferred form of contact indicated on the Family Information Page. If a timely response is not received, a nursery worker will come find you.
Evacuation Procedure
In the event that an evacuation is necessary, all children in the nursery will be taken by the nursery workers to the back field behind the church. You may help with this process, or meet your child at the field. Your child must be signed out on the Weekly Sign-In Sheet before you can leave with your child.
Hallways
For safety reasons, please keep the hallways clear during the service.
