What we do. We want your child's first impressions of Jesus and His church to be a positive experience.  That's why our nursery doesn't just provide babysitting or childcare. Rather, Awesome Adventure's dedicated staff will help your child to learn about God's wonderful creation, that he/she is special to God and how much God loves him/her.  

How we do it. Children receive lots of loving care and attention in the Awesome Adventure nursery. A wide assortment of age-appropriate toys, games, books, music and puzzles give children an opportunity to interact with their caregivers and peers, enjoy purposeful play, and develop their motor skills.  If you’re concerned about your children becoming upset when you leave them, the caregivers will work with you to find the best way to comfort them.  In most cases, crying stops a few moments after parents leave and becomes less common with regular attendance.  If a child continues to cry after five or ten minutes, we contact the parents using their cell phone or our paging system.

Our facility. Our secure nursery environment is located on the upper level of the church, outside the sanctuary.  Each nursery room is fully equipped and staffed.  Changing stations are located in each room and bathroom facilities are near the rooms so caregivers never leave children unattended.  The nursery rooms are fully carpeted, providing children with ample space to crawl and play.  Cubbies are located in each room to store diaper bags and other items needed by the children.  The nursery rooms, equipment, and toys are cleaned and sanitized on a weekly basis.  A nursing mother’s room is located directly off the nursery lobby with comfortable rockers and a monitor to watch the worship service.

Within the rooms, we take great strides in providing a healthy environment. Changing tables are equipped with anti-bacterial soap and disposable gloves. The changing tables are disinfected after each use. New containers of clean toys are used for each service. Used toys are put away to be disinfected during the week. Crib sheets are removed and washed after use.
