We extend a warm welcome to you and your child to Oak Grove United Methodist Church nurseries. This information is provided to encourage communication and cooperation between parents and nursery employees so that all babies and toddlers may be cared for in a loving, safe, age appropriate environment. Please read carefully and then leave your child with us, relax and enjoy the service or program.
As we discover, disciple and serve in our church and community, our goal is to supplement the family in its desire to establish a spiritual foundation within a nurturing environment that, in God’s timing, will lead a child into a relationship with God through Jesus Christ.
Purpose of Nursery Services
To help each child:
• Feel comfortable, loved, happy and special.
• Feel secure with nursery teachers and other children.
• Have a positive experience at church.
• Grow spiritually, emotionally, mentally and socially.

Nursery Teachers: We strive to have two or more teachers present in classrooms at all times. At least one adult is assigned to each class. We try to keep the same personnel in your child’s class for consistency. Our Nursery teachers supervise the safety, welfare and education of our young children.
Drop-off and Pick-up of Children: The nursery will open fifteen minutes prior to meetings and church services. Parents should pick up their children immediately following the service, meeting or function.
Silent Pagers: Silent vibrating pagers are provided for those with babies and for any parent/visitor who feels s/he needs to be reached (e.g. a toddler going through separation anxiety, etc.).
Snack Time: A snack is provided for toddlers through 3 years old. Please provide a cup for water or juice. (Having your child’s name on the cup is very important.)
