Our goal is to provide a safe, secure and loving environment where parents feel comfortable leaving their children.

To prevent abuse risk in our ministry we have taken steps to protect both our children and workers by adopting "The Guardian System."

Connect Screen. All staff and volunteers are screened. We use application forms, in-person interviews, reference checks and criminal background checks.
Connect Train. Through training and education all staff and volunteers are made aware of our safety and security policy.
Connect Operate. We have operational policies in place for each department. For example, all children must be signed in and signed out by an adult parent or guardian.
Connect Plan. Should the unthinkable happen, we have a response plan to deal quickly and effectively with the situation.

Nursery Secruity
The safety and security of your children is of the utmost importance to us at New Hope Church.  Our computer kiosks allow you to check your child in and print a nametag for them, as well as a parent label for you with a specific code on it that matches your child’s tag.  You will need to turn in the parent label when picking up your child. In the classroom, you will write down the pager number that will be given to you, along with your cell phone number and note any special instructions your child may need. If we are unable to page you, we will light up your code number from your parent label and display it on the Worship Center screens or come to you in your classroom.

Please only send an adult from your family to pick up the child.

For added security, all staff are screened and wear a photo ID.

Our nurseries operate on a "well baby" policy. Please do not bring your child if any of these symptoms are present: fever, cough, diarrhea, impetigo, questionable rashes, active chicken pox, conjunctivitis (pink eye), measles, nasal drainage that is not clear, or being treated with antibiotics for less than 24 hours.

Please label all bottles, pacifiers and diapers with your child's name. When bringing your child to the nursery, use the small diaper bag provided by the church
