More About Early Childhood Sunday School

Nursery and Toddler Sunday School
Generally, babies and toddlers will spend the both Sunday school and the worship service in the nursery. Pagers are available for your convenience and peace of mind.

A typical morning in the nursery and toddler classrooms

       • Staff and volunteers will play with and read short Bible storybooks to them.
       • They will be rocked, held and/or encouraged to play.    
       • They will enjoy light snacks (If provided by the parent, special snacks, bottles and meals may be given.)     
       • They will have their diaper changed or be assisted with bathroom needs.      
       • Cribs, in an adjoining quiet room, are available for napping babies.     
       • Caregivers will pray for them.
