First Baptist Church of Grove City Children's Ministry
Infants and Toddlers


At First Baptist Church we strive for excellence in our nursery program not only because we deeply value children, but because we know how difficult it can be to worship when you're worried about your child!  Therefore we dedicate our nursery program to the glory of God, and in doing so we desire the utmost quality in our infant care.

 

Infant Nursery (0-12 months)

Weekly infant nursery hours are: Sunday morning: 9:00am - 12:00pm; Sunday evening: 5:45 - 8:00; Wednesday evening: 6:45-8:00.  Debbie Tyler is our evening nursery staff member.  

A paging system is provided to contact parents if needed during the service.  Parents are given pagers when they drop off their infant.  The pager system is designed to quickly notify parents of any problem with the infant during their time in the nursery.

To ensure the safety of children and workers, as well as to provide an optimum childcare environment, we insist on several precautions in our nursery.  For members and regular attenders, ID badges are created with pictures of both child and parents.  This card also contains information such as any allergies or special needs so that our nursery workers are best equipped to serve the needs of your infant.  We check ID's carefully at pick-up, and therefore we are unable to allow an older sibling, or any other guardian to pick up the child who is not authorized on the ID badge.  Visitors will receive visitor ID cards for their infant.

For more information, contact Cindy Tryon

To schedule your infant for baby dedication, contact Gayle Tatman, or by phone at 614.875.6939.

 

Walkers (approx. 1 year olds)*

When children have mastered the art of walking they are promoted from the infant nursery to the Walkers class.  Therefore, we do not move children based solely on age; a 10-month old who can walk well moves to the walkers class.  The approximate age for children in this class is one year-old, but one year-olds do not automatically leave the infant nursery for the walker class until they are able to walk.

 

Two year olds*

When a child reaches his second birthday, he is promoted to the two year old class.

 

* There is childcare available on Sunday and Wednesday evenings for children 1-5 years old.  Jody Wymond is the evening toddler staff member.  Like the evening hours for the infant nursery, the toddler childcare is 5:45-8:00 on Sunday evenings, but from 6:45-9:00 on Wednesday evenings.
