First UMC Nursery/Childcare Policies

Nursery care (Infant through 3 years) is provided for all Worship services.  Nursery is provided until 7:15 and childcare (Infant through 5th grade) is provided from 7:15 until 9:00 for Wednesday Night Live.  You may request Nursery/childcare for choir rehearsals, church wide events, meetings and Sunday school class activities, and small group activities.  Nursery/childcare will not be provided for outside groups meeting at the church. 

Please keep the following in mind when requesting childcare:

To provide requested childcare there must be a minimum of two families participating.

For reasons of safety and liability, there must be a minimum of two caregivers present, and First UMC
Franklin must employ at least one of these adult caregivers.  The other adult caregiver must be a church member or an active participant who has a Safe Sanctuary clearance.

Donations to offset the cost of childcare can be made to FUMC Franklin, designated to Nursery caregivers.

Caregiver has the right to limit children if the ratio goes over the stated ratios in the Safe Sanctuary policy.

Children brought to the church when childcare is not available must remain with the parents.

 

Procedures to Request Childcare at First UMC:
 

The event coordinator must complete a Childcare Request Form and submit it to the Nursery Supervisor for approval no later than 2 weeks before the event

Individuals needing childcare for an approved event must then contact the Nursery Supervisor at the Church office to reserve a spot for their child. If reservations have not been secured for 2 families 1 week prior to the event, childcare will not be provided.
