PEACE OF MIND AND SECURITY

As you are greeted at the Nursery Check-In Table, you will be issued a silent pager. Your child will receive a coordinating tag. This system gives parents peace of mind and allows the rest of the family to enjoy and explore all that our church has to offer. Two adults are always present in each room to assure safe sanctuary. All nursery staff members are certified in CPR & First Aid.

LITTLE THINGS ARE IMPORTANT

• Please label the child’s little belongings (diaper bags, diapers, bottles, etc.).
• Have a little conversation about how God’s House is a fun place!
• Children are always welcome to bring a “little something” (their labeled paci, lovie or toy) to help make them feel secure.
• Please realize there may be little tears, but our nursery workers have big hearts and will do their best to comfort your child.
