Nursery (Birth — 23 months)

The First Christian Church Children's Department is pleased to provide a clean, state-of-the-art nursery facility featuring a dedicated and well-trained nursery staff. We assure that your child is lovingly cared for while making safety our number one priority. To insure a safe environment, all volunteers undergo a background check before they begin serving in the nursery.

When?

Nursery care is provided during both Sunday morning services, as well as certain times throughout the year in conjunction with special adult programming. The nursery staff is available for drop-off beginning at 9:00 a.m. for the 9:15 a.m. service, and 10:30 a.m. for the 10:45 a.m. service.

Where?

The nursery is located in the Early Childhood Department, near the west entrance to the main building.  Campus Map / Preschool Map

How?

Families visiting the nursery for the first-time will need to fill out a First-time Guest Information Form before dropping their child off. Forms can be obtained at the Nursery Check-In Desk or feel free to download the First-time Guest Information Formhere and bring it to the Nursery Check-In.

All children must be checked in at the Nursery Check-In Desk using the Children's Check-In Process. The child receives a tag, and the parent/guardian receives a tag and a vibrating pager. If the parent/guardian is needed at any time during the service, they will be paged, so they may attend to their child's needs.

To provide the best possible care for the children, please review our illiness policy.
