"Let the little children come to me and do not hinder them,
Time & Location The nursery is often your baby’s earliest experience of church and our goal at Bethesda is to make that experience as nurturing as possible. During your child’s first years, she will learn that church is a safe and happy place where she is loved and her needs are met. We have separate rooms for infants and toddlers, and children advance from room to room on an individual basis. At age three our children head up-stairs to begin Sunday school in our Pre-K/Kindergarten program, where they are introduced to basic Church practices and Christian thoughts, such as “God loves me.” Childcare is provided for infants and toddlers in the Nursery and Classroom B, respectively, every Sunday. Our nursery is staffed by trained nursery care attendants who understand that providing a safe, pleasant, and clean environment is an all-important step in the spiritual development of children. Pagers are available for parents should a child become sick or cannot be comforted after 15 minutes. Parents, or approved guardians, must present the assigned pager when picking up their child(ren). Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) How do I let the church know about my new baby? Please email or call us (655-4554) and share the good news! What should I do with my baby on Sunday mornings? Of course, you are welcome to bring your baby with you to worship, however, we also have an excellent nursery program, and we encourage you to take advantage of our professional and caring nursery environment. The nursery, for infants and toddlers, is entrance to the nursery is from the West Cloister (Hallway), just to the north of the Parish Hall. (Toddlers are taken to Classroom B, which is located on the north side of the Parish Hall). Who will take care of my child while he or she is in the nursery? We take great pride in the quality of both our nursery staff and facilities, because we understand that providing a safe, pleasant, and clean environment is an all-important step in the spiritual development of children.
