Welcome to the Sunday School Nursery
Welcome to the Nursery!
Child care is available from 9:55 to 11:15 in the small, baby-safe room off of the library. Children from six weeks old through two years will play on the floor with our kind child care providers. We typically schedule two providers each Sunday; if extra babies come to Sunday School, we will recruit additional adult care providers from the congregation.
Our Nursery is a place to reinforce the basic messages of the first year of life: “You are always safe, you are always loved, Mamma and Daddy will return.” These developmentally appropriate learnings are not only cognitive achievements, but the foundations of a healthy faith.
We share a gently structured morning with:
- Greeting Song & Acorn Yoga
- Book
- Pocket Song: using rhythm props
- Another Book
- Season Song
- Participation Game
- Spirit Song
- Clean Up & Art Time until families arrive to pick up children
For safety and comfort:
- Parents may always choose to stay with their babies as long as they wish
- The Nursery is constantly observed through its glass door. The Preschool teacher is on alert to help out in emergencies!
- Babies should arrive at the Nursery with a clean diaper; child care providers will not change diapers, but will call parents as needed.
- Parents, please mark on the map where you will be so care providers can find you.
- Snack is not provided for Nursery students.
Who is caring for our children? Our high school Nursery Care providers have grown up in the UUCUV. Emily, Jenny, Nora, and Daroc have received training in age-appropriate play, first aid, and safety.
