Nursery

The nursery of Friendswood UMC provides safe and loving childcare, for newborns through kindergarten, in a loving Christian environment.  The nursery's goal is to provide care that the parent or guardian can fully trust, enabling them to enrich their lives and Christian spirit by participating in the church services and events of their choice, all the while knowing their child or children are in safe and loving hands.  We also hope to instill in these young children as they start out their lives a true love of God and their church.

Check In / Out Procedures

Our Check in/out procedures are designed with your child's safety in mind and encourage good communication between parents and nursery staff. 
  1. Parents are asked to fill our a 3-part sticker, each of which is numbered to match child to parent
  2. Part 1 of the sticker goes on the child's back
  3. Part 2 is adhered to the diaper bag or other transitional item
  4. The last portion is given to the parent to be used as a claim ticket when picking children up from the nursery
Parents who have babies have the option of filling out a baby care form providing details on how to soothe a child, whether a pacifier may be used, how many minutes your child should be allowed to cry before you are called, etc.
 
Each parent has the option to receive a pager for us to contact you should the need arise.  We also contact parents via cell phones, either through a call or text message.
