What to Bring

Please have your child’s personal belongings clearly marked with his/her full name. Diaper bags should contain two to three diapers/pull ups, wipes, a change of clothes in case of an accident, a bottle/sippy cup of their preferred drink. If your child wears cloth diapers, we will page you when they need to be changed; our nursery volunteers are not trained to do so. Parents must also administer any medications or creams/ointments.

What to tell Us

Tell us anything that will make your child feel more comfortable.

Baby‘s Schedule forms should be completed at your child’s room to ensure proper measures are taken for feedings and schedules.

Please notify caregivers when potty training; even if your child is still wearing diapers we’ll be glad to help them along. We’ll place a potty training sticker on his/her back along with the security sticker.

Allergies: During check-in, inform the attendant of your child’s allergies so it may be posted on his/her security sticker. Also, ask your child’s teacher for an allergy alert sticker to place on your child.

Feedings and Snacks

Please make sure your child has been fed his/her spoon-fed food before arriving to church. Time and number of hands do not allow us to feed children their meals. We offer animal crackers, Cheerios, and Goldfish to those children who are developmentally ready to chew.

Nursing and Cry Rooms: Private (mothers only) and comfortable nursing rooms are located in the nursery (C114) and near the Worship Center (A115). A family/cry room is also available (A113).

Check-in and Check-out Process

Upon arrival, present your key tag at one of our Children’s Ministries Regular Attendee Check-in Booths located on the first and second floors of Buildings B and C. If you do not have a key tag, please visit one of the Information Center/Visitor Check-in Booths located on the first floor of any building.

Name Badges: At check-in, you will receive two stickers. On one sticker, write where you can be located during first and second hours and place that sticker on your child’s back. The second sticker is for you to keep and present at check-out time. Babies will receive an additional sticker to place on their diaper bag.

To Check-Out your child, present your sticker to your child’s teacher. No child will be released without the corresponding sticker. Parents are to stand outside the classroom doors while waiting for their child.

Paging

If you are needed during the service, we will page you using the last four numbers on your security sticker. These numbers will illuminate on the square, black monitors in the Worship Center to the left and right of the platform. If you attend an Adult Fellowship class, an usher will come alert you that you are needed.

Health

In an attempt to keep the children healthy, all changing surfaces are disinfected after each diaper change, all toys are washed after each service, and pacifiers and bottles are labeled with owner’s name to prevent “sharing.”
