Nursery for babies & toddlers 0-4

BABIES - PRE-K

At Northwest, we believe every child — even our littlest ones — matters to God and to our church family. Northwest Children’s Ministries exists to partner with families, reach the next generation, and help each child become a fully devoted follower of Christ, and that mission begins from the very first years of life. Our Nursery provides a safe, loving, and Christ-centered environment where babies and toddlers can be cared for while parents worship.

If you’re planning your first visit, you can also pre-register your child to make Sunday morning simple and stress-free.

Pre-Register You Child

Northwest families

Whether you’re visiting for the first time or have been part of Northwest for years, we’re thrilled to support your family. If you have questions, needs, or would like to connect with our Nursery Ministry team, you can contact: Emily Wafer, Children’s Ministry Director. We would love to help in any way we can.

What to Expect on Sunday

Our Nursery serves babies through preschool during Sunday services. Your child will be cared for in age-appropriate rooms with activities, stories, and loving attention — all designed to help them feel safe, secure, and known.

When you arrive, enter through the main entrance and check in at the Families Check-In Area. This is where your child will be checked in and receive a security sticker. A parent or guardian will need that sticker to check their child out after service.

After check-in, you can choose to keep your child with you for worship until service begins or drop them off immediately in the nursery. The nursery opens 15 minutes before service.
Our trained and background checked volunteers will care for your child throughout the service in a nurturing, age-appropriate setting.
For nursing moms, we also have a designated Nursing Mothers Room where the service is live-streamed, so you can care for your baby without missing what’s happening in the gathering.

We encourage first-time families to arrive 10–15 minutes early to allow time for check-in.

Why Nursery Matters

We believe a child’s first experiences with church set the foundation for lifelong faith. In our Nursery, your little ones aren’t just watched over; they are welcomed into a loving space where they can feel calm, safe, and connected — because church is a place where every age belongs.

Family Wonder Ink Portal

To help your family continue faith conversations at home, we invite you to explore our Family Wonder Ink portal, where you’ll find simple, age-appropriate activities and lessons designed for your child’s growth — even before they are ready for Kids Church.

We are honored to partner with your family and walk alongside you as you help your child know Jesus, grow in faith, and belong to God’s family.
