When checking in child(ren) please be sure to have the parents/guardians sign in the child(ren).

We need the child's (ren) full name and Parents/guardian name ... Special instructions such as nap, snacks, potty training, nursing and such. Please make sure to place a numbered tag on the child's(ren) diaper bag and give a matching number to the parent.    *see more on this below. When providing care for the children in nursery these following things may be helpful.

1. Extra diapers are in the little restroom. There are also extra clothes, blankets, and cleaning supplies in this restroom.

2. Snacks are above the sink as well as cups and a pitcher for water.*please ask the parents if they are ok with children having a supervised snack time.

3. The cubbies in the nursery are a great place to place diaper bags to keep little hands out of other people's things =).

4. There is a CPR chart located above the sink in the nursery. This is for you to just be more familiar with in case of emergency.

5. If children are ever causing a lot of trouble we suggest you try the following.

a. Redirect their attention to a different activity or play area.

b. If situation involved more than one child please separate them.

c. Please encourage apologies if necessary.

d. If a child still is not listening you can try placing them on a chair for 1 minute for every year of age. So like a 2 year old would sit for 2 minutes.

Remember these are just some things you might find helpful. If you ever have any concerns or reservations please just have parent/guardian come back to nursery.  I would like to touch on why we have the little tags for parents and children.

This is so only who the parent/guardian chooses can pick up children.

They should have tag to pick up the kids. This number is also how we can let families know they are needed in nursery if children are crying or in case of emergency. We ask that you choose one of the people volunteering to contact sound booth. They will scroll the number across the screen in service so that you don't have to locate parents.
