To prevent the spread of infectious diseases, please implement the following nursery guidelines:

  1. No sick child or child with a fever or productive cough will be left in the nursery
  2. All nursery workers will wear gloves while changing diapers.
  3. Soiled diapers, wipes, and used gloves will be placed in a disposable bag and dropped in the trash can with the "step-on" lid opener and plastic liner.
  4. All infants are to be wearing disposable diapers while in the nursery.
  5. Children with open skin lesions or other wounds should not be admitted unless the wound is bandaged; open wounds suffered during church activities must be immediately cleaned and bandaged using universal precautions.
  6. Nursery toys that are put in children's mouths should be placed in the bin marked "USED TOYS" to be washed and disinfected later.
  7. All spills or leakage of any body fluids (urine, feces, vomit, blood, etc) will be wiped with a disposable cloth and cleaned with a disinfectant cleaner. The used cloth should be placed in a plastic bag and dropped in the trash can with the "step-on" lid opener and plastic liner.
