Children are a priority at DUMC. We want to care for and love your child as God has asked us to do. Your cooperation is essential for a healthy, safe environment.

Health Guidelines have been established to safeguard the health of children and staff and to comply with State and County regulatory requirements. All paid nursery staff are CPR trained.

Your child should be kept at home when he/she has symptoms of a cold, an infection, or any contagious illness. Please let us know if your child does come down with a contagious illness so that we may notify other parents. IF YOUR CHILD HAS BEEN ILL WITHIN THE PREVIOUS TWENTY-FOUR (24) HOURS, PLEASE KEEP HIM/HER AT HOME. This will minimize the spreading of illnesses among our children. Some signs of illness in a child are:

Unusual fatigue/irritability

Fever

Coughing or sneezing

Runny nose or eyes

Vomiting or Diarrhea

Inflamed mouth/throat

Special Needs

If your child is on medication or has special needs, please notify the caregiver or Nursery Director. It is important to us to meet your child's current needs.

These guidelines are for your child's protection. By following the guidelines, it is our hope that our children will enjoy a healthy environment at church. We appreciate your support.
