Thank you  for your cooperation and for the privilege of ministering to your children. Our guidelines and policies are meant to make the Lil Cove Nursery as healthy and safe as possible for everyone.

Please help keep our Nursery a safe place. A child with any of the following will not be permitted into the Lil Cove Nursery:

• Runny nose with colored discharge
• Colored discharge from eyes
• Inflamed mouth or throat
• Coughing / sneezing
• Chest congestion / labored breathing
• Diarrhea/ vomiting within last 24 hours
• Fever- listlessness/ unusual fatigue or irritability/ excessive crying
• Open sores
• Contagious diseases such as chicken pox/ pink eye and so forth

If your child is taking antibiotics, they should have received treatment for at least 48 hours before coming to church, even if symptoms are no longer present.

Our Nursery policy prohibits any volunteer or staff to administer any type of medication.

We encourage anyone with a heart for children as well as parents of infants and toddlers to serve in the Nursery.

The Lil Cove Nursery offers the opportunity to impact both the children in your care and their families. Our volunteers are the first smiley faces that  parents and children see. As a volunteer you will get to provide a safe and loving environment.

If you are interested in serving, just ask for the Nursery Leader. All volunteers will need to complete an application, and be background checked.
