Sunday Mornings in the Nursery
Childcare is available at each service, 9:30 a.m. and 11:00 a.m., for infants through four-year-olds. The nursery is located directly inside the Washington Street entrance. All of our nursery staff are CPR and First Aid certified.
What to Bring
If your child is in diapers, please bring 2-3 diapers and wipes for your child. All belongings (bags, cups, lovies, etc.) should be labeled with your child’s first and last name. Our goal is for each child to feel loved and get excited about coming to church. If your child has a lovie, blanket, or special stuffed animal that comforts them, you are more than welcome to bring it for them to have while they are here.
What to Expect
Our goal is to provide a safe and loving environment for our children. Please be sure to check in at the kiosks outside the nursery hallway before dropping your child off in their class. If your child has a hard time with drop off, our childcare team will work with your child to help acclimate them to the room. Most children are only upset for a few minutes before jumping into play time. Please do not linger in the room or in the hallway where your child can see you. If they do not settle down within 10 minutes, we will call you.
