Nursery

:: The infant nursery is available to you from 9:45 AM until the end of the Worship Gathering. It is staffed by professional child-care workers and screened MESA volunteers who genuinely love and care for little ones. You are welcome to bring your baby to the infant nursery at any time before or during worship. Children are also welcome to remain with you during worship—whatever you're most comfortable with.

:: Our infant nursery is a warm and secure environment for children, birth through 12-18 months. Pack and plays are set up for naps and developmentally appropriate toys are on hand for fun. The infant nursery also is open for nursing moms. Nursing pillows are available. We can accommodate babies up to 18 months in the infant nursery, but parents can choose when their baby is ready to move up to the toddler nursery.

:: You will receive a vibrating pager when you sign your child into the nursery. Nursery staff will use the pager to alert you if your child needs you and, if desired, can also send you a page to let you know your child is doing well.

:: For the best experience in the nursery, please remember the following:

  • Children must be signed in and signed out of the nursery. To pick up a child, an adult must have the child's pager.
  • Provide your child with a labeled bottle or sippy cup and extra diapers, also labeled with your child's first and last name.
  • Label your child's things.
  • If your child will need a meal or medicine while in the nursery, we invite you to return to the nursery at any time to give it to him/her. Our nannies will serve a light snack, however, if your child has food allergies, you may leave a specific snack for your child, and our nannies will be sure to only serve it to him/her.
  • Separate infant and toddler nurseries are available. It is up to parents to decide when the toddler nursery is appropriate for their child. For the safety of our infants, children over age 2 may not be dropped off to the infant nursery.
  • Children showing signs of a fever, cold, or any contagious disease including a green runny nose, labored breathing, rash, fever, diarrhea, or vomiting in the last 24 hours, should not be left in the nursery.
