We provide care during the 8:30, 9:30, 10:30 and 11:30 AM worship services for children ages birth through age 3. 

The nursery is also available for other church functions during the week such as bible studies and small groups. Please contact the Nursery Coordinator, laura.drane@kfumc.org if you have questions regarding childcare availability. 

Our nursery rooms are open 15 minutes prior to regular scheduled services, Bible studies, or other on-campus activities. Please pick up  your child within 15 minutes after the service  or event is over.

Our Nursery is located in Room 100 of the Education Building. (Due to the closure of the Education Building, the nursery is currently in the Children's Ark Building.) 

INFANTS

Please send any bottles ready to serve, and please be sure to leave written instructions for any special needs your child may have.  Cribs are available for infants who need to sleep.

TODDLERS

A peanut-free snack is usually provided for toddlers. Please leave written instructions for any special needs or allergies your child may have.

WHEN YOU ARRIVE

If you haven't already done so, our nursery workers will ask you to fill out an information sheet on your child so that we can have one permanently on file.

Check in is required on Sunday mornings for  the nursery.  There are 2 kiosk stations located on the first floor of the Education Bldg.   Please check your child in before they go to the nursery. This process records their attendance and gives them a “ticket” to class and the nursery.  A label will print for your child to wear as well as a guardian label.  Parents should be ready to show that label if asked by a nursery staff member or classroom leader. 

Be sure all of your child’s belongings (bags, blankets, pacifiers, etc.) are labeled. If you need a label for your diaper bag, let us know and we will be happy to provide you with one.

For the safety of all our children, we request that you leave your child with a caregiver at the door rather than coming inside. Tell them goodbye, give a hug, and then leave quickly. Please do not linger.

-Change of clothes

-Disposable diapers or pull-ups

-Plastic bottles or sippy cups

-Please do not bring personal toys or possessions unless it is a “security item” (pacifier, blanket, etc.)

WHEN IT'S TIME TO GO

During hectic pick-up times, a child can very easily slip out of the nursery doors. Please help us keep the door closed at all times for the safety of all our children.

Present your pager at the nursery door and wait for a nursery worker to bring your child and bag to you.

Please do not send older siblings to pick up your child. Our staff is instructed to release nursery children only to their parents, or to another responsible adult or teen designated by you ahead of time.

In order to ensure the safety and health of other babies and workers, please refrain from bringing your child if he/she has any of the following symptoms within the past 24 hours:

*Diarrhea

*Vomiting

*Fever

*Rash

*Open Sores

*Runny Nose (anything but clear)

*Symptoms of a communicable disease

Please notify us if your child develops a communicable disease after being in our care so we can notify other parents of exposure.

All toys and surfaces in the nursery will be disinfected after each child’s use.

Our workers use disposable gloves for diaper changes and disinfect the changing table after each use.

Nursery bedding is changed after each use.

Our workers are First Aid and CPR certified.

*We are a Peanut-free Nursery. Please avoid sending snacks from home that contain any peanut products.
