Please bring your child to the first floor of the education wing where we will meet you to check-in. Children three and older are required to wear a face mask when attending The Nest. Parents are asked to also wear a mask when coming to the Nest. Currently, parents are not permitted in the classrooms to reduce the spread of germs, including Covid-19 exposure. We do our best to make your child comfortable and happy and we will text you if we feel they might be happier with their family.

All our workers are trained in child safety procedures, including appropriate ways to maintain a clean environment and first aid/Child CPR. All our workers are also vaccinated and will still wear masks when children are with us.

When registering, you will be asked three questions. Please do not bring your child to The Nest if you can answer “Yes” to any of these questions: 

1. Has your child, or anyone in the household, experienced any of the following in the past 24 hours: fever, cough, shortness of breath, chills, sore throat, runny nose, body aches, diarrhea, loss of taste or smell?
2. Has your child received any fever reducing medication, such as Tylenol or Motrin/Advil in the past 24 hours?
3. In the past 14 days, has your child had a pending or positive test of COVID-19, or has your child had close contact with someone confirmed or suspected of COVID-19.

We also have a Mom’s Room just down the steps from the sanctuary and outside of the undercroft, where mothers can bring children who need a diaper change or just some wiggle room. The 11:15 service is livestreamed to this room. Space is limited to two moms at a time.
