Nursery (Infant-2 yrs)
Is your child ready to move up to the next classroom?
As a parent this decision is up to you. We suggest the following:
Infant Nursery: Babies until they begin to crawl.
Crawler Nursery: Crawlers through stable walkers.
Toddler Nursery: Seasoned walkers until their 2nd birthday.
What time do we arrive?
Schedule is at the bottom of the Sunday School Page.

Parent Tips for a Smooth Calvary Nursery Experience
- To avoid congestion, please arrive at the nursery 10 minutes prior to the service you are going to attend. We recommend one parent (mother or father) bring and pick up the baby to ease access to the nursery.
- When you arrive at the nursery, you will be asked to hand your child to a nursery worker at our check-in counter and sign in. Note that you must include your signature with the time in and time out. You will be receiving a vibrating pager that will notify you, if you are needed in the nursery. A nursery worker will help you place your child's belongings. Please tell us if your child has any allergies. They will be noted on his/her nametag.
- Please bring a small diaper bag with adequate supplies such as a bottle or juice (clear liquids please), a pacifier (clip-on preferred), a change of clothing, and extra diapers. Label all your child's belongings so we can be sure to return them to you. Bottles and cups must be labeled.
- We have snacks available for children in the nursery--cheerios and Goldfish. If you do not want your child to have these, please let the nursery workers know.
- If your baby or toddler cries for an extended period of time and is inconsolable, we will send for you through our pager system. Some children cry for a few moments after the parent leaves. Don't worry. This usually passes quickly as the child settles into the nursery routine. If your child usually cries after you leave, the nursery workers would appreciate it if you did not let your child see you again until you are ready to pick your child up.
