Home is a place where you can rest, recuperate and be revived.
Northside Baptist
Church, our church home, is such a place.
     
What
to Expect
Birth to 23 months
What to Bring
When packing a diaper bag
for your child, please include the following
items:
1. Two or three disposable diapers, no cloth
diapers please.
2. Pacifier or other item should your child need
it for security.
3. A complete change of clothes in case your
child would require that.
4. A bottle of milk, formula, juice, or water.
(this is a good practice even for mothers who
nurse.) Bottles need to be pre-mixed. To insure
that all children are given adequate care we do
not feed your child food. If your child needs to
eat while at church we request that you come and
pick your child up and take them to the nursing
mother room where you can feed your child
without disturbing other children. A high chair
is provided for your convenience.
Please label all items with your child's first
and last name before arriving at your child's
class. This helps us keep track of your child's
items.
When you Arrive
Please come to the Nursery entrance on the East
Side Education building, pick up a parent pager
and sign in your child. The parent pager has an
identifying number on it. If you are needed to
return to your child's classroom you will be
paged. The page will vibrate, so please hold or
wear the pager at all times. We ask that you
present the pager upon return to your child's
classroom and then we will return your child to
you. A child will not be released to a parent
without presentation of the assigned pager. A
preschool staff member will direct you to the
age-appropriate classroom. A leader will meet
you at the door to receive your child and any
other necessary items. Please check in and note
any information that will help in caring for
your child such as feeding times, sleeping
times, allergies and special needs.
Snacks
Snacks are provided for
the children once they graduate to the 1 year
old classroom. If your child has any
allergies please inform the leader when you
check your child into their classroom.
Curriculum
We
believe our littlest ones can learn! Laying
Biblical foundation in a child's life are most
important and our volunteer teachers take this
responsibility very seriously. Your child will
enjoy experiences that allow them to reinforce
each lessons Bible truth and life application.
Saying Good-bye
After you have completed
the check-in process, simply wave a quick
good-bye and leave for worship or Sunday School.
As you know, it is normal for little ones to cry
when leaving a parent. This does not last long,
and separation becomes easier over time. Our
leaders will immediately try to create interest
in a toy or activity and give assurance that you
will return after the worship service and Sunday
School is completed. If your child cries for an
extended period of time of 10 minutes, we will
page you.
Feel free to check on
your little one at any time during the worship
service. However, we ask that you do so
discreetly, trying not to let your child see
you.
Pick Up Procedures
Your child's leader will expect a parent to drop
off and pick up your child unless special
instructions are given at check-in. Please have
the parent pager ready to return to the leader
at the classroom door. The leader will then
return your child to you. Please do not send
anyone under the age of 17 years of age to pick
up your child. Please make sure that all your
child's personal items have been returned to you
before you leave the premises. Lost and found
items will be retained for a short time. |
