Safety Guidelines

Our safety policies include the following:

Nursery caregivers and teachers are carefully screened and are required to attend training in recognizing and preventing child abuse.
Children’s ministry staff work in teams so that there are two adults present with the children.
Children in the nursery are signed in and out each week by parents or other authorized adults.
Classroom doors are made of glass for easy viewing and are always unlocked when children are meeting.
Children go to the rest room with a teacher (toddlers) or in pairs

Parents can help us keep our children safe by:

Remaining on the St. John’s campus while their children attend Sunday School or other children’s events.
Letting children’s ministries staff know where to find them in an emergency.
Picking up their children immediately after Sunday School or other events.
Communicating with St. John’s staff about their children’s special needs or other concerns.
