Nursery Notes

You may have noticed that we have been making a special effort to provide childcare during many of our meetings, classes, and music rehearsals!  Here are a few guidelines for Nursery care outside of our Sunday morning services:

·         Event Childcare 101
o   While the Nursery is reserved for those under the age of 3 on Sunday mornings, we provide childcare for children under the age of 12 during events. 
o   Teens are welcome to sign up to assist in the Nursery.
o   Because safety is always #1 and we cannot always keep track of who is coming in and out of our building during an event, we ask that if your children are not participating in an event that they are in the Nursery at all times. 

·         Request Early
o   If you anticipate that there will be a need for childcare for an event that you are planning, please remember that our nursery staff members need time to plan for this in their lives as well.  Please give us at least 2 weeks’ notice for any event . 
o   Request forms can be found in the Nursery, front office, or download on the side of this page.

·         Please remember to RSVP! 
o   If you are planning to attend an event where childcare is provided, please note that we need to know how many children to expect in advance so that we can ensure that we maintain a safe environment for our kids! 
o   If there is no response for childcare by the RSVP deadline, please note that the nursery staff will not be scheduled for the event.    
o   If your plans have changed and you will not need Nursery Care for an event, please do your best to let us know ahead of time.     

·         Remember to check out our Nursery guidelines
o   Please take note of our nursery policies, including important guidelines on snacks found in our program brochure, available online on our blogspot.

·         Ask questions
o   If you have any questions or concerns about our Nursery Care policies, please contact Amy Peterson Derrick at Director-LifespanLearning@uuflint.org
