Our nursery and children’s volunteers strive to provide a clean, healthy, and nurturing environment for your children. In an effort to ensure that your child’s experience is happy and healthy, we encourage parents to make sure that their child falls within the standards of health that we have established, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

In order to prevent the spread of illness, and to provide a safe, healthy environment for all our children and volunteers, we ask that you keep your child home any time he or she exhibits the following symptoms during the 24 hours prior to coming to church:

Fever within the past 24 hours • Vomiting (2 or more times) or experiencing diarrhea in the past 24 hours • Runny nose with any colored discharge (yellowish or greenish) • Streptococcal pharyngitis (strep throat) until 24 hours after treatment has been initiated • Any unexplained rash • Skin infections such as impetigo until deemed noninfectious by your physician • Drainage or redness that could possibly be considered conjunctivitis (“pink eye”) at this time or if diagnosed and prescribed medication within past 24 hours • Mouth sores associated with drooling unless deemed noninfectious by your physician • Head lice and/or nits
