"Train up a child in the way he should go, and when he is old he will not depart from it." Proverbs 22:6
It is very important to share the love of Jesus with a child from birth. All children are a gift from God and deserve extra special care which we strive to offer here at Sunnyside. We provide childcare from birth to 2 years old for all services.
When you drop off your child at our nursery, we realize that you are leaving one of life’s most precious gifts in our care. Our nursery is a safe and clean environment staffed by experienced caregivers. We are confident that our facilities will enable you to attend any Sunday School class or service with peace of mind knowing that your child is well cared for. All volunteers have current background checks.
The Nursery can be a child's first step toward a relationship with Christ. As infants and toddlers learn to trust those who take care of them, their hearts prepare to have faith in God, Who loves and cares for them.
Playtime activities introduce children to biblical truths and allow parents to continue teaching at home.
We provide a small pre-packaged snack for toddlers. Please let us know of any food or allergy concerns.
Sick Child Policy
Keep your child at home if any of the following symptoms are present in the 24 hours prior to church: fever (without fever reducing medication), vomiting, diarrhea, persistent productive cough, discolored runny nose, or sore throat. Sunnyside Baptist Church reserves the right to request immediate pick up for a child deemed to be too ill for nursery. Parents will also be requested to pick up children early who become ill during the services.
Please note that while we do all we can to limit the transmission of illness, many childhood diseases are contagious before they are symptomatic.
If you have any questions concerning our policy, feel free to give the church a call or send us an email.
