| Additional Information
Pages |
| When you register in our
Nursery/Toddler Rooms, you will be asked to complete an
Additional Information Page. This will help us care for
your child by noting your child’s preferences. Click
here to download this Information Page and bring it
with you the next time you attend LOCC. |

|
| What
about food in the classroom? |
| If your child has allergies
and cannot have goldfish or animal crackers, we will exchange
a substitute snack you may want to provide. We provide
an age appropriate small snack for Kindergarten and younger
in our weekend celebrations. |
| |
| We ask that you do not bring
cake or donuts to celebrate your child’s birthday
or other special occasions as there are many children
with allergies that cannot eat these foods. |
| |
| What
should I bring? |
| When in the Nursery/Toddler
Rooms please bring the following items: |
| |
| · 2-3 Disposable
Diapers (no cloth diapers please) |
| · Pre-mixed bottles
(This is a good practice even for mothers who nurse.) |
| · Any special comfort
item your child may need |
| · A change of clothes |
| |
| Marking your diaper bag,
bottles or any other belongings with your child’s
name will assure you that these items do not get misplaced.
Please check your child’s belongings before leaving
the classroom. We have a Lost and Found Tub at the Children’s
Welcome Center. Items not claimed after one month are
donated to a charitable organization. |
| |
| When
is my child transitioned to the next age level classroom? |
| Up through the 4 year old
classroom your child will transition to the new classroom
on or after their birthday. Please give one week’s
notice for transitions so that our rosters will reflect
accurate information. You may inform the teacher or contact
the church office. |
| |
| Once in the 4 year old classroom,
your child will stay there until “Transition Sunday”
in mid June. |
| |
| What
materials will my child bring home each weekend? |
| The items and information
your child brings home from his or her classes are valuable
tools for you as a parent. |
| |
| We are supplying monthly
Parent Pages to you. Each month these pages will give
you simple songs, finger plays and activities to do with
your baby/toddler. These activities will help you introduce
your child to God’s love. Pick one up each month
at the sign in table! |
| |
| Saying
Good-bye |
| After you have completed
the check-in process, simply wave a quick good-bye and
leave for the worship service. As you know, it is normal
for little ones to cry when leaving a parent. This does
not last long, and separation becomes easier over time.
Our leaders will immediately try to create interest in
a toy or activity and give assurance that you will return
after the worship service is completed. If your child
cries for an extended period of time, we will page you. |
| |
|
| |
| Checking
On Your Child |
| Feel free to check on your
little one at any time during the worship service. However,
we ask that you do so discreetly, trying not to let your
child see you. |
| |
| Nursing
Mother's Room |
| Our Nursery provides an
isolated area designed to provide privacy during feeding
times. Because our space is limited, we do ask mothers
to limit their stay to just the time required to meet
the needs of the child. |
