Welcome to Noah's Nursery

Trained volunteers and caregivers provide a secure and nurturing atmosphere as they care for babies and toddlers in Noah's Nursery. Daily life lesson experiences are reinforced with songs, play and supervised activities designed with children in mind.

Location
Noah's Nursery is located on our main campus, directly across the Courtyard from the Sanctuary in Room 107. Click here to see our campus map.

Age Limits
Babies from 2 months to 12 months old will be cared for in the infant section of Noah's Nursery. Before infants can visit the nursery, we suggest that the first series of inoculations be completed.

Toddlers that are 13 months and walking will be cared for in the toddler side of the Nursery. Two year-olds are promoted from the Nursery to our two year-old class in our Promiseland program in September of each year.

Check-In Procedures
You may check your infant/toddler into Noah's Nursry 15 minutes prior to the beginning of the Worship Service or class or when volunteering in a service capacity.  A loving caregiver will greet you and your child at the time. The safety and security of all children is top priority with us! You will be required to complete a registration form and sign your child in and out of Noah's Nursery. An identification tag will be placed on your child and all his/her belongings.

Babies must be picked up from the nursery directly after the completion of

worship/program.  Noah's Nursery is not staffed to keep infants and toddlers

during the break between services.

Pagers
Though most children are happy and content in Noah's Nursery, sometimes a child needs mom or dad to return before the service is over. You will be given a numbered pager to carry with you while your child is with us in Noah's Nursery. After you have completed the check-in process, simply wave a quick good-bye and leave for the service or class. As you know, it is normal for little ones to cry when leaving a parent but this does not last long. Our caregivers will immediately try to create interest in a toy or activity and give comfort to your child. If your child cries for an extended amount of time, or the staff needs your attention, your pager will vibrate to notify you to return to Noah's Nursery.  Please remember to place your pager in a pocket or clip it to a belt.

Snacks
Snacks are given out to our children during their time in Noah's Nursery. Snacks are age specific and might include: Cheerios, graham crackers, water, or diluted apple juice. Snacks will NOT include any items with nuts. Please indicate any known food allergies when completing your registration forms and remind the caregivers of the allergy at check-in.  Also please provide an appropriate snack for your child.

What to Bring
Two disposable diapers (no cloth diapers please)
Baby wipes
A bottle of milk, formula, juice or water
Pacifier with name on it or other item should your child need comfort
A complete change of clothing
Jacket or sweater for outdoor play

Your Child's Health
We operate a well-baby program.  If your child has signs of illness, such as runny nose, fresh cold (four days or less), fever, cough or diarrhea, we request that you do not place your child in the program at that time.
