1. NO ONE is to enter the nurseries except the caregivers and the children.
2. All staff, paid and volunteer, must be screened and trained as stated in the DUMC Safe Sanctuary policy.
3. Please bring your child in disposable diapers or pullups unless he/she is allergic to them.
4. Give your child and their well labeled diaper bag to the caregiver along with any pertinent information and leave quickly. Your child will be able to adjust more satisfactorily if you do not linger.
5. Each room has a sign-in sheet for you to sign in your child. List any pertinent information the caregiver should know (i.e., warm bottle, feeding time, soothing techniques, known allergies) and where you can be located in the church building. If you are a new member or visit with us on a regular basis we ask that you complete a Nursery Registration Card so we have the information we need to best care for your child.
6. Workers will provide 2 security wristbands with matching numbers at the time of drop-off. Fill out  wristband#1 completely and place on child's wrist- wristband#2 must be worn by the parent that will be picking up the child. No child will be released to any adult without the appropriate security wristband.
7. Prior arrangements must be made before or at the time of drop-off if someone other than the parent(s) will be picking up a child. Along with verbal communication -written consent must be given to the director at drop -off. Please inform the person picking up the child that a state ID is required at the time of pick-up.
8. Silent pagers are available for your convenience.
9. Please do not to come to Noah's Corner to see your child until you are ready to leave. We will notify you immediately if an emergency should arise. Seeing you in the doorway, but not getting to leave the nursery can be upsetting.

Children are a priority at DUMC. We want to care for and love your child as God has asked us to do. Your cooperation is essential for a healthy, safe environment.

Health Guidelines have been established to safeguard the health of children and staff and to comply with State and County regulatory requirements. All paid nursery staff are CPR trained.

Your child should be kept at home when he/she has symptoms of a cold, an infection, or any contagious illness. Please let us know if your child does come down with a contagious illness so that we may notify other parents. IF YOUR CHILD HAS BEEN ILL WITHIN THE PREVIOUS TWENTY-FOUR (24) HOURS, PLEASE KEEP HIM/HER AT HOME. This will minimize the spreading of illnesses among our children. Some signs of illness in a child are:

Unusual fatigue/irritability

Fever

Coughing or sneezing

Runny nose or eyes

Vomiting or Diarrhea

Inflamed mouth/throat

Special Needs

If your child is on medication or has special needs, please notify the caregiver or Nursery Director. It is important to us to meet your child's current needs.

These guidelines are for your child's protection. By following the guidelines, it is our hope that our children will enjoy a healthy environment at church. We appreciate your support.
