The Purpose of our nursery

Leaving your child in the nursery

1. Please label your child’s diaper bags or any other belongings at the table that’s located at the entrance of the nursery. A nursery staff member will fill out a nametag at the counter with a corresponding pager number and any other important information.

2. Please be assured that a staff member will page you if your child has been crying for 10 minutes. If you want to be paged sooner or later please let an adult staff member know.

3. For any first time visitor or any guardian who has a child with separation anxiety please feel free to accompany your child into the nursery.

4. If your child has any allergies or special needs please notify an adult staff member. Nursery only provides goldfish, cheerios, and fruit loops to children for snack.

5. At our PUMC Nursery we strive to provide a healthy environment for your child. In order to do so, please do not bring your child in if they have a fever, vomiting, diarrhea within the previous 24 hours, any symptoms of childhood disease such as scarlet fever, measles, mumps, chicken pox, and whooping cough, runny nose with any colored discharge, sore throat until 24 hours after treatment, any unexplained rash, skin infection, pink eye or other eye infection, and head lice.

6. All classes have an end time and nursery expects that a guardian should arrive to pick their child up within ten minutes after the class end time.

7. During pick up time an adult staff member will not dismiss a child until the corresponding pager is returned for safety reasons.

8. Children need to arrive at the nursery with clean hands, face, and clean diapers. This is needed to maintain a healthy environment.

9. All members of all classes who use the nursery should include the Nursery Childcare Minister on their class email list for any changes or cancellations in the meeting times.

10. If you are in a class and your child becomes ill or for some reason you cannot attend your class please immediately call or email the Nursery Childcare Minister.

Every September and January we are asking that each family who uses the nursery and childcare at anytime other than Sunday morning worship fills out a registration form  and corresponding registration fee (fee payment information is on the registration form).
