Nursery Care

Nursery play
Families with young children can count on the loving care provided to children ages 6 months to 2 years, 11 months in our nursery. Adult and youth staff work together to comfort and engage infants and toddlers. In addition to our primary nursery Room, we have a second child-friendly Parent Room to accommodate nursing parents and other needs. We also have a child-sized bathroom and changing table in the nursery.

Nursery care is available free of charge during all services. Nursery care is also available during most church-sponsored events; families in need of childcare should RSVP to Ray Hommeyer at ray@unityunitarian.org at least a week in advance of the event. Families can bring their children to the nursery beginning 15 minutes before services/events and should pick them up immediately following worship/event.

Families should provide the nursery workers with a labeled bag containing any items necessary for the care and comfort of their children, including diapers and wipes. Donations of diapers and wipes for emergencies are always welcome.

The nursery is generally a food-free zone (bottles are welcome) to ensure the safety of all of our children. Please alert caregivers to any allergies, sensitivities, accessibility needs that your child has!

We request that children who are ill or feeling unwell not be brought to the nursery to avoid discomfort and stress to the children as well as to avoid the spread of contagious illnesses. As general guidelines, please do not bring children who in the past 24 hours have experienced:
  • fever
  • rash
  • diarrhea
  • vomiting
If your family has questions about our nursery care or has a youth 12 years or older who would like to work as a Nursery Assistant, please contact Ray Hommeyer, Nursery Coordinator, by e-mail at ray@unityunitarian.org.
