Worship Childcare

---

Sunday Childcare is Available in Room 101 
Childcare is available for children up through Three-Year-Olds (who are not yet in PATHWAYS (Sunday School) in our main childcare room.

Childcare time will be a caring time for stories, play, and music.  Parents should leave their cell phone numbers with the caregivers so they can be reached if there is a need.

We also offer childcare for those who volunteer for our midweek LOGOS program. 

The Director of Education and Program, Deannine Shipman, hires caregivers to staff our childcare rooms on Sundays and for special programs.  All volunteers and paid workers must have clearances.  Volunteer and Paid applications are in our church office.

SCPC offers a weekday preschool program (September - May) called Stay and Play to reach out into the community and care for children.   Please see our Stay and Play pages for more information about the preschool.

Any questions can be directed to Deannine Shipman ( 814-238-2422).

Nursery and Toddler Room Policies

• We will provide warm, loving care to each child in the nursery and toddler rooms
  
• You should sign your child IN and write down your location in the building each  time you leave him/her with us
  
• Our rooms are designed for specific age ranges so that toys are appropriate, and that our children are safe
  
• We prefer to have the parents instead of siblings pick up the children
  
• Clearly mark your diaper bag and bottles, caps, pacifiers, etc.
• Only children free of bad colds, fever and diarrhea should come to church!
  
• In cribs we will place babies on their backs unless otherwise requested by parents.
  
• We change the crib sheets for every baby
  
• Childcare workers are usually on the floors playing with children
  
• We will come get you if your child becomes ill, gets hurt, or if after a reasonable amount of time, does not stop crying

• We will change diapers as needed.  Parents should supply diapers/wipes.  The changing tables are cleaned after each use, and all caregivers wash their hands after diapering each baby/child
  
• If a toddler or older child in our care needs some sort of discipline, we will remove him or her from the situation and offer another activity or toy. We will use redirection instead of time outs

• Our rooms are PEANUT-FREE so please refrain from sending in snacks that have peanuts in them.  Thanks!
