Nursery

  

Jesus said, ‘Let the little children come to me, and do not hinder them, for the kingdom of heaven belongs to such as these.' Matthew 19:14

We consider every child a blessing and promise from the Lord. It is our desire to serve the needs of you and your children as we would serve Christ.   We attempt to provide a comfortable environment so that each child may feel happy and loved.

 

The care of our youngest children in our three nurseries is provided by both staff and volunteers.

Infants provides loving care for our youngest children, from newborn to toddler age.

 

Toddlers provides care, supervised play, Bible stories, singing, and activities to children from twelve months to thirty months.

 

Pre-schoolers ministers to children from two and a half years to the start of kindergarten with care and supervision, Bible stories, songs, and activities.

 

Our nursery staff members and volunteers give their time and attention to the children as unto the Lord. Each week they plan music, stories, songs, games, and age-appropriate play to make the church experience positive, memorable, and educational. Our nursery ministry supports the children's parents, allowing you to participate in church services and Sunday school.

 

Nursing Mothers

Faith Church has set aside a special room for mothers who want to nurse their infants away from the din of other activity. The room is adjacent to the worship center, with windows and a speaker system so you will not miss the service. Ask the nursery personnel to direct you to the nursing mother’s room.

Safety Measures

The only acceptable nursery is a safe nursery. Faith Church has gone to great lengths to insure each child will be nurtured in a safe and secure environment.

·       Our nursery is supervised by a coordinator who staffs and oversees all care.

·       The nursery rooms are regularly inspected to remove or correct any dangerous elements.

·       Children with known illnesses are not admitted into the nursery.

·       A parent in the sanctuary can be notified immediately of any needs through our nursery alert system. Each parent receives a pager when dropping off their child in the nursery which alerts them when their child needs them.

·       The church has developed a fire plan for all rooms in all of our buildings.

Check-In Procedures

In order to provide the best experience for baby and parent alike, we have developed a procedure for checking children in.

·         When you complete the sign-in sheet you will supply the nursery personnel with important information such as where you can be located, child’s special needs, etc.

·         You will receive a pager when you drop off your child, which also serves as a "claim check." Only the person with the pager will be able to pick up your child. The pager will go off if your child needs you during the service. It is very important that you hold on to the pager during the service and return it when you pick up your child.

·         Please bring a diaper bag. Your diaper bag should contain the following items:

·       3-4 diapers

·       A plastic bag for wet diapers

·       A bottle

·       A bib

·       A complete change of clothes

·       A sweater and socks (during cool days)

Our Co-operative Nursery

 

Faith Church’s nursery is a cooperative effort.  We ask for volunteers to work in the nursery on a rotational basis, from among our members and regular attenders who have completed our child safety course.
