"Our church nursery provides a physically and emotionally safe
environment to facilitate the healthy growth of babies and families
into the image and likeness of our Creator. Our staff members serve
as ministers.
Everything we say and do is centered on the principles of God's
Word, which tells us the value of each individual."
Noah’s Kids (Nursery)
A nursery is provided for infants 6 weeks
old through age 4 for each worship service and for special events.
At University Carillon, we believe that your child’s first experiences
at church should be happy and secure. That’s why we’ve
developed a very special nursery where your child will be loved
and cared
for while you worship, meet and/or study.
In the nursery—through
stories, songs and games, through kind words, smiles and hugs—we
will teach your child about the love of Jesus.
There are always
rocking chairs and loving arms waiting to hold your child.
We
will help as you lay the foundations of faith and trust which
will prepare your child for a personal relationship with Jesus
Christ.

Parents:
If you have questions about whether childcare is available
for an event, please contact the ministry leader in charge. In cases
where free care is provided, but fewer than 3 children need
care, childcare
reimbursements will be offered in place of opening the nursery.
Ministry Leaders:
Please consult the Nursery Schedule and the Church-Provided
Childcare Policy when scheduling events needing childcare. Specific
arrangements should be made with the nursery director.
The 10 Commandments of the Nursery
1. Fill out an information sheet on your child’s first visit.
2.
Each time you come, sign in your child on the sign-in sheet.
3.
Don’t leave without your name tag. (We will make two name tags—one
for your child and one for you.) It is your identification to
pick up your child.
4. Make sure your child’s name is on all belongings, including
bottles, sippy cups, diaper bags, etc.
5. Silent Beepers are available for children in room “1” (M101).
6. Do not leave a child in any room unless a staff person is
there to receive him or her. The facilities are open 15 minutes
prior to all
scheduled events.
7. Children showing signs of illness (see Illness Policy) should
not be brought to the nursery.
8. Please pick up children as soon as possible at the close of
your activity.
9. Be sure to sign out your child and leave the second name
tag.
10. If your child is very upset and doesn’t seem to be adjusting
well, we will beep you to come and get your child.
ALLERGY ALERT!!!
Please let us know if your child has any food allergies so we can
plan snacks accordingly. Because many children are allergic to
peanuts and/or peanut butter, we recommend not packing any snack/lunch
items containing peanuts or
peanut butter. In case of an allergy emergency, the nursery director
and several staff members are “epi-pen” trained. Your children
are safe in our care.
Illness policy
For the protection of all the children, parents are asked not to
bring a child to the nursery who is ill. Children should remain
at home if any of the following exists:
• Fever above 100.5 degrees
• Vomiting or diarrhea
• Any symptoms of childhood diseases such as
scarlet fever, German measles, mumps, chicken pox or whooping cough.
• Sore throat or runny noses (except for allergies)
• Croup
• Any skin infections such as boils, ringworm,
impetigo, etc.
• Pinkeye or any communicable disease.
If your child develops symptoms
while in the nursery, we will care for him or her separately
and contact you immediately.
The Staff
Each nursery worker has completed a thorough application process
and background check. References are on file at the church. All
have been trained in nursery procedures. Also, there is always a CPR/First
Aid trained staff member in each room.
Nursing Room
We have a nursing room available for nursing moms. This is a place where
you can nurse your baby and still hear worship services in your own quiet,
peaceful sanctuary. The Nursing room can be found right across from Nursery
Room M102. Relax and Enjoy!
