Nursery
& Toddler
We have a wonderful staff of well-trained, experience caregivers
who love working with children and caring for babies. Because
we realize that you are entrusting us with your precious child,
we place a high priority on maintaining a safe, secure environment.
Therefore we have some specific procedures that are necessary
to meet this goal.
Secure Check-In/Release
Our security procedure includes: use of a security tag system
to ensure your child will only be released to you. It is critical
that you return the tag each time you pick up your child, as caregivers
have been instructed never to release a child without the appropriate
tag.
Well Children
Although we love all the children who come to the Nursery and
the Toddler room, only well children will be admitted. Please
check you child to make sure they do not have a runny nose, persistent
cough, fever, vomiting, diarrhea or other flu symptoms. We do
not administer topical or oral medications to children –
parents are to attend to these themselves.
Change of Rooms
As you child grows and develops in ability and maturity, they
will be moved from the nursery to the toddler room with your approval.
Although we post an age limit for each room, the child can be
retained in a room if they are showing signs of insecurity, or
inability to attend to the Bible lessons in the 2 to 3-year old
room.
Health & Safety Guidelines
It is our goal to have a clean room containing sanitary toys and
equipment with only healthy children in attendance. Sanitation
procedures include: 1) sanitation of the diaper changing pad and
caregiver’s hands after each diaper change. (Note: Volunteers
use latex gloves. If your child is allergic to latex please inform
the volunteers.) 2) Emphasis on routine sanitation of all toys
and equipment appropriate to the age of the child and 3) provision
of clean sheets, blankets, and other linens for each child.
Snacks, Bottles, & Food
Parents are asked to provide specific instructions on the check-in
form regarding your child’s diet. Snacks of Cheerios and
crackers are available for children who are eating solid food.
If your child has any food allergies, you are asked to mark those
on the information sheet at check-in.
