 Nursery
We provide babies with a warm and wonderful nursery
experience for infants, toddlers, and all of our
weekend services and during Wednesday Evenings.
What
To Bring
When packing a diaper bag for your child,
please include the following items:
1.
Two or three disposable diapers. No cloth diapers,
please.
2. Pacifier or other item, should your child
need it for security.
3. A complete change of clothes in case your
child would require that.
4. A bottle of milk, formula, juice or water.
(This is a good practice even for mothers who
nurse.)
Please label all personal items with your child's
first and last name before arriving at your child's
class. This helps us keep track of your child's
items.
Your Child's Health
We operate a well-baby program. For the protection
of all the children in our ministry we cannot
accept a child with a runny nose, fresh cold (four
days
or less), fever, rash, persistent cough,
diarrhea or any other signs of illness. We request
that
you not place your child in the program while
they are
at risk of exposing other children. Thank
you in advance for helping us keep our BridgeKids
program
a healthy place for all.
When
You Arrive At Your Child's Room
A leader will meet you at the check-in area to
receive your child and any other necessary
items. Please
check in and note any information that
will help in caring for your child such as
feeding times,
sleeping times, allergies and special
needs.
At
the time of check-in, a leader will apply an adhesive,
numbered wrist band
tag to your
child's
wirst. You
will be given a stub with the same
number. If you are needed to return to your child's
classroom,
you will be paged with through our “silent
pager” system.
Your child’s number will be displayed
on the screen in the sanctuary. At the
time of check
out
will need to present the numbered stub
to the nursery leader. No children will
be released
to a parent
without the stub.
Snacks
Snacks are provided for the children
once they graduate to the Crawler
classroom. The food items
consist
of water and Cheerios or vanilla
wafers for our new walkers through 3 year
olds.
If your child
has an
allergy, please inform the leader
when you check in your child.
Saying
Good-Bye
After you have completed the check-in
process, simply wave a quick good-bye
and leave
for the worship service.
As you know, it is normal for little
ones to cry when leaving a parent.
This does
not last long,
and separation becomes easier over
time. Our leaders will immediately
try to create
interest in a toy
or activity and give assurance
that you will return after the worship
service is
completed. If your
child
cries for an extended period of
time of 10 minutes, we will page you.
Checking
On Your Child
Feel free to check on your little
one at any time during the worship
service.
However,
we ask that
you do so discreetly, trying
not to let your child see you.
Pick-up
Procedures
Your child's leader will expect
the same person to drop off
and pick
up each child
unless special
instructions
are given at check-in. Please
make sure that all your child's
personal
items have
been returned
to you before you leave the
premises. Lost and found
items will be retained for
a short time. Items not claimed
after one
month are donated
to a charitable
organization. |
