Early Childhood Wing

Welcome to the First Bible Baptist Church Nursery where we provide loving, safe, and secure care during all of our church services for children aged newborn thorugh four years old. We believe in cultivating an atmosphere where a child’s physical, spiritual, emotional, and intellectual needs and development are promoted.

Infants

Our infant nurseries are divided into ages and stages. Babies who are not yet mobile are in the infant room of the nursery where they are engaged with age-appropriate toys, have their diapers changed if needed, are given bottles when necessary, and lovingly rocked to sleep when appropriate. 

Crawlers

Our crawler nursery is for those children who are actively mobile on their own, but not yet walking. We separate them out of the infant nursery so they have more freedom to roam, and have toys that keep their interest. 

Walkers

Our walker nursery is for infants who are toddling and walking independently. They are moved out of the crawler nursery to avoid accidental collisions with crawlers as they get their legs under them. 

Preschool: 2 – 4 year olds

Our Pre-school ministry engages your child in music, motion, an interactive story, and creative activities. Highly dedicated and loving teachers connect with your child in smaller, age-specific groups to create a positive experience for learning about Jesus.

Kindergarten

In our 10:30AM service on Sunday mornings, our kindergarteners have their own Sunday School class where they learn about Jesus in age-appropriate lessons, play games, and engage in fun activities. In our 8:30AM service, K-2 grade is combined in the Children’s Wing.

Wellness Policy

THIS POLICY APPLIES TO ALL ROOMS IN THE WING AND WILL BE STRICTLY ENFORCED

In order to protect our children and workers, we ask that you not bring in a child who is obviously ill.

Illness symptoms include:

• If your child currently has a fever, or had one within the past 24 hours
• Colored nasal discharge
• Vomiting or diarrhea
• Obvious sore throat
• A cough
• An unexplained rash/skin infection.
• Pink eye

PLEASE NOTE: Nursery volunteers cannot administer any medications. If a child develops any of the above symptoms during a service, parents will be notified immediately, and the child must be cared for by the parents outside of the classrooms. If a volunteer notices any of the above symptoms upon check-in, we have no choice but to ask you to keep your child with you. Thank you for protecting other families from illness, just like you would want them to do for you.
