Nursery Policies & Procedures


Nursery Policies

  • It is the goal of the nursery to maintain a 2:1 ratio in the infant room and a 4:1 ratio in the toddler (ages 18 months – 2 years) room.
  • Every room is staffed with at least one employee that is CPR certified.
  • The entire staff is trained in emergency preparedness and child protection policies. These polices are available for review in the Christian Education office.
  • The staff also receives regular briefings on choking, shaken baby syndrome, first aid, sanitation and diaper changing.

Nursery Guidelines

  • Do not bring a sick child to the nursery. Although we appreciate the value that regular church attendance brings, we do not want to endanger the health of the children in the nursery and respectfully request that your child remain in your care if he or she is feeling poorly.
  • Any personal articles brought to the nursery must be labeled with the child’s name. This includes, but is not limited to, bottles, diaper bags, pacifiers, changes of clothing, etc.
  • Sign in your child at the drop-off door and share any special instructions that may be helpful to the care providers.
  • In the interest of safety, we ask that you do not send a sibling to collect your child from the nursery. Only those adults who have signed the Security Information form will be allowed to remove your child from our care.
  • Take note of our nursery and Sunday School hours posted at the Nursery Welcome Center so you can pick-up and drop off your child within 15 minutes of each of the services.
