What you can expect in the nursery program

Available starting at 8:15-noon

Our purpose on Sunday mornings for nursery age children is to provide a safe and loving environment for you and your child. We believe your child is a gift from God - so we provide the best care possible. We also believe that it is never too early to teach a child about God's love. We believe that we represent Christ to each little one in our care, and want to lay a foundation for your child not only to trust us, but also to trust in God.

What's Expected of you?

Do not  leave the church campus while your child is in the nursery.
When packing a diaper bag for your child, include 2 or 3 disposable diapers.
Include a pacifier or other item, should your child need it for security.
A change of clothes in case your child would require that.
A bottle of milk, formula, juice or water. (Good practice even for moms who nurse.)
Label diaper bag with child's name. Label bottles & pacifiers.
Do not leave personal belongings in the diaper bag (only baby's essentials).
Feel free to check on your child at any time he/she is in our care.
Check your child into the system. Please include your cell phone number(s) and keep phones on vibrate where you can feel them.

On-site Childcare

AHUMC offers childcare for Bible studies, classes or groups who are meeting on campus for children up to age 11. Guardians must remain on campus while using childcare. The purpose of childcare is to provide a safe and loving environment for you and your child. We believe your child is a gift from God - so we provide the best care possible. We also believe that it is never too early to teach a child about God's love. We believe that we represent Christ to each little one in our care, and want to lay a foundation for your child not only to trust us, but also to trust in God.

What's Expected of you?

Make a reservation for your child at least 48 hours in advance.
Please cancel your reservation if your child will not be here.
Check in via KidCheck once you arrive.
Do not leave the church campus while your child is in childcare.
Label diaper bag with child's name. Label bottles & pacifiers.
Do not leave your personal belongings in diaper bag (ex: keys, wallet, etc. - only baby's "essentials.")
Please be prompt when picking up your child. Your sensitivity to start and finish times of childcare is appreciated!!
