Nursery Policies & Tips For Parents

Infant Nursery: Babies until they begin to crawl.
Crawler Nursery: Crawlers through stable walkers.
Toddler Nursery: Seasoned walkers until their 2nd birthday.

To help us serve you better, we've prepared a list of rules and tips for the nursery program:

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, graham crackers, and animal crackers. If you do not want your child to have these, please let the nursery workers know.
• For your child's health and security, we limit access to the nursery. Only nursery workers will be allowed in the nursery. If your baby or toddler needs you, 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.
• For the safety and comfort of all parents and children, the nursery cannot admit babies/toddlers with contagious illnesses. This includes fevers of 100.5 degrees and above, discolored mucus, vomiting, diarrhea, contagious diseases (including contagious rashes and pinkeye). Children should be on antibiotics for at least 24 hours before returning to the nursery. Nursery workers do not administer medicines.
• Please try to pick up your child within 10 minutes after the service is over. For your child's security, nursery workers need your written permission to release a child to anyone other than you. Nursery workers may ask for identification.
• Your child will be promoted into the 2's Sunday school class on their second birthday.
