Purpose: To serve our families by providing caring childcare for infants during Mass.
GROW: Belong
The Nursery is open to children ages 6 months to 36 months. It is a year-round co-op program that offers age-appropriate toys and games and the chance to experience agape love. The Nursery program lasts the entire Mass allowing parents and families with older siblings to experience Mass fully. Our goal is to provide a consistent, safe, and loving environment for our youngest parishioners. Registration required.
We look forward to having your child join us in Nursery! Our program is a co-op program which means in order to successfully offer Nursery, we rely heavily on the support of parent volunteers. We strongly encourage parents volunteer at least once a month. No preparation is required but you must be Safe Environment cleared.
Volunteers help the lead teacher monitor children, assist in circle time and sing songs.
If we do not have enough Safe Environment (SE) cleared volunteers in a given week, we will have to close or limit the number of children attending.

Dropping Off and Picking Up :

Diaper Bag Contents: Please include whatever you feel will be needed during the time your child is in the nursery.
Illness: Please do not bring your child to the program if s/he is not feeling well, or has had fever or diarrhea in the last 24 hours. The teachers may not give medication to any child.
