Route 252 Nursery
alt
Where spiritual foundations are built.
Growing In Wisdom, Stature, and Favor With God and Men.  Luke 2:52
 
 0 - 2 Years
Our nurseries are open during all services and staffed with loving individuals who are ready and willing to provide great care, as well as age appropriate activities, a snack, and a lesson based on stories from the Bible.
2 1/2 - 3 Years
Your little one is learning very quickly in life and becoming independent.  This class is designed to help 2 - 3 year olds learn more about Jesus and His love.  Each week through painting, crafts, and even their very own worship service, these tiny children learn to understand who God is and how much He loves them.  Tiny 252 is located in the nursery hallway just next to the sanctuary.

How Our Nursery Ministry Offers Much More Than Childcare.
  • Even the tiniest members of our congregation need to hear that God loves them!
  • We provide intentional programming during all worship services, which will include a Bible lesson designed for each age and stage of development.
  • The lesson is taught through interactive use of song, art, stories, repetition, and prayer.
  • Your child will have the opportunity to hold, touch, and feel items that will correspond with the lesson being taught.
  • We will lovingly talk to your child about God and Jesus as we go about our daily activities.

What Does Our Commitment to Quality Care Mean To You?
  • Our staff is committed to praying for your child and your family.
  • Our staff is continually trained in children's learning styles and has undergone background checks and many are CPR and First-Aid certified.
  • We believe in modeling the love of Jesus as we go about feeding, diapering, and cuddling with your child.
  • We are committed to reading Christian storybooks while spending time with your child.
  • We believe in building an environment of trust and security with your child by meeting their needs in a prompt and loving way.
  • We are committed to the highest quality of childcare, which is focused on excellence in housekeeping, sanitation, sick child procedures, and safety.
  • A pager system is available for your comfort and we will page you if your child needs that special attention that only a parent can provide.

Guidelines:
  • It is natural for a child to cry when dropped off.  Our caring staff will notify you, via pager, if your child has cried for more than 10 minutes.
  •  Please provide any special items that your child may need, including bottles, diapers, and well marked personal supplies.  Diaper-bag tags are available upon request.
  • If your child is 6 months or older, please place a nametag on their back during check-in.  We like to refer to them by name and this helps our staff to recognize each child correctly.
  • If your child has been sick, vomiting, had diarrhea, rash, infected runny nose, or fever within the past 24 hours, we ask that you not leave them in our care.  We hope to keep our nurseries safe and help our kids to stay healthy.  In the event we discover your child is not feeling well, we will notify you immediately via pager.

Cry Room:
A room designated for nursing moms and parents with toddlers who need special attention is available just outside of the sanctuary.  Please ask an usher for assistance if you need directions.

Family Section:
During our worship services we have created a very special section within our sanctuary.  We have located it near the nursery hallway and next to the cry room so that you can slip out quickly and quietly in the event you are paged.  If you choose to take a small child into the service, we ask that you sit within this area so your little one can receive attention in the hallway if necessary.
