Nursery Care at Duke Memorial
Infants – Age Four
9:45 a.m. – 12:15 p.m. Sunday mornings
The safety and security of our youngest parishioners, and the confidence and trust of their parents, is our utmost concern. All of our Sunday school teachers and caregivers have completed a thorough background check and follow guidelines established by the safe sanctuaries policy. At any given time there are a minimum of two caregivers per room. Parents are asked each Sunday when dropping off their children to fill out a yellow sticker label to be worn on the back. Each label has a unique number which corresponds to the stub kept by the parents. Also there is a church-wide phone and paging system in the event of an emergency.
Please make sure that we have on file an up-to-date form about you and your child.
Infants and toddlers are in the yellow door room on the top floor of the Weekday School building with Olivia and Patsy. Parents will be given a pager that lights-up and vibrates to call them back to the nursery if need be. Snacks are provided. If you would like to pack your child a snack from home, please do so. Make sure to bring a cup or bottle.
Two year olds are in the blue door room on the top floor of the Weekday School building. Robin and Tim Langford teach Sunday school and Joey and Julia Browning are the caregivers during the church service. Snack is provided during the Sunday school hour. On most Sundays after the church service has started the twos go to the playground and should be picked up there. (Please bring weather appropriate attire.) On some occasions when weather does not permit outside play, or for staffing reasons, the twos go to the bottom floor (room with the purple door and lamb banner) and join the three and four year olds. If the twos are not in the upstairs room there will be a sign posted as to their whereabouts.
Three and four year olds are in the purple door/lamb banner room on the bottom floor. Barbara Gillmer and Linda Supernaw teach Sunday school. Snack is provided during the Sunday school hour. Linda stays on through the church service with another caregiver. On most Sundays after the church service has started the children go to the playground and should be picked up there. (Please bring weather appropriate attire.)
