Nursery

Purpose
The nursery is a place where children from birth through younger two year olds can experience church in a positive way and begin to learn about God while their parents enjoy the main worship service. The nursery is staffed by parents, other caring adults, and young people. During special services, the Nursery expands to accommodate older children as well, usually up to the age of 5.

Child Health Policy
We want the nursery to be a safe place. To help ensure this, we ask that parents follow our health guidelines for children in our nursery.

• No fever above 99 degrees within the last 24 hours.
• No vomiting, nausea, diarrhea, or contagious skin conditions within the last 24 hours (unless treated for 24 hours).
• No colored discharge from the eyes, nose, or ears.
• No other symptoms which may be contagious.

The Nursery staff reserves the right to remove a child from the Nursery in order to protect the health of everyone involved.

Check-In Procedure
To ensure the safety of all children who use our facility, we ask your cooperation in adhering to the following policy:

• Parents will remain in the hallway while their child is being checked in.
• The parent/guardian will sign in their child. The number next to the child’s name will be assigned to the child and his/her belongings. The parent/guardian will retain the back portion of the name tag with the same number.
• Any special instructions for the child need to be noted on the sign-in tag.
• To pick up your child, you must present the numbered card you received when you dropped off your child.

If you need to check on your child, please get the attention of a staff member first, without letting your child see you. This keeps the disruption to a minimum. Also, be assured that our staff of committed parents and volunteers won’t hesitate to come and get you if we can’t comfort your child or if we believe he or she is ill. As always, if you have any questions or concerns, please feel free to contact Verleen Didier.
