"...Let the children come to me; do not hinder them..." - Mark 10:14
The purpose of NorthWest Bible’s Nursery Ministry is to assist families
by providing a safe and loving environment for
their children. To provide an atmosphere of learning in which the children are exposed to biblical truth so that they may know, love, and
serve the Lord Jesus Christ.

Mothers are welcomed to nurse their babies in our special private room, which is located directly across the hall from our infant room
(104). The worship service can be heard in this room through speakers.

For children from birth to those who are not yet
crawling. Only adults care for the babies in this room. Swings and
cribs are used in this room and babies are given bottles as requested.
Baby’s diapers are changed at least once an hour.
Crawlers (Room 105) For children who are crawling to those not yet
walking. Adults only care for all babies in this room. Snacks
(Cheerios, and Goldfish crackers) and white grape juice are provided in
this room unless otherwise specified. Cribs and high chairs are used in
this room. Diapers are changed at least once an hour. When your child
begins to walk, he/she will be moved up to the next room.

with proficiency. Snacks (Graham crackers, goldfish crackers, and
cookies) and white grape juice are provided unless otherwise specified.

These children are under the supervision of the Nursery Director yet
they are taught on Sunday’s by a teacher volunteer staff. They have one
or two adults per room with a teen helper. The parents sign in their
children and each child has a name tag on the back. Sunday school is at
the 9:30 service and Children’s Church is at the 11:00 hour.
Parent/Child Procedures
Drop Off
We ask parents to avoid entering the childcare room. The half door
will be open at drop off and pick up. Separation Anxiety is a very
natural thing for the child to go through. Helpful hints for dropping off your child: - Stay calm
- Pick up your children on time
- Avoid long good-byes
- Pass them to the nursery staff
- Reassure them with a
smile
If your child does cry, we will do
everything to calm them and reassure them. The more consistent you are
in bringing your child to church the quicker your child will feel
comfortable in the nursery. Contact System
The Nursery uses a Vibrating Pager System to insure the security and
well being of your child. Pagers are given to the parent when dropping
off children in Rooms 104 to 107. We ask that you please write the
pager number on the child’s name tag and place the pager on your body
where you will feel it vibrate. If your child needs you this is how we
will correspond.
Nursery StaffOur Nursery Staff is trained in Infant and Child CPR and basic first
