Nursery FAQs

How old does my baby have to be to start in the StoneBridge nursery? We welcome your baby anytime after 8 weeks of age.


Is my baby separated from older toddlers? We promote children from our infant/crawler room to the toddlers class as soon as they can walk confidently.


What do I need to bring? Your baby or toddler will need a labeled diaper bag with diapers, a change of clothes, a labeled bottle or cup and any items your child might need to be content during their time in the nursery.


Who cares for my child? Volunteers are parents, other loving adults, and teens that have a heart for our little ones. All volunteers over 18 years old are given a background check. We strongly encourage our parents to join a nursery rotation.


Do you have a nursing mothers room? StoneBridge has a nursing mother/cry room accessible from the lobby.


What are the sanitation procedures in your nursery? To prevent the transfer of germs, all baby toys are sanitized, linens are laundered and larger toys and equipment are wiped with sanitizing wipes after each use.

Special Notes to Parents

Health Concerns: If, after being in the nursery, your child becomes sick with something, such as head lice, chicken pox, HFMD, RSV, etc. please email kids@stonebridge.org to let us know ASAP. Communication will then be sent to parents of any exposed children, while keeping the infected child/family anonymous. We do not need to be made aware of things like the common cold.

Safety Policies:
Your child's safety is importance to us. A secure check-in/check-out policy is in place, as well as protocols for emergency procedures. All volunteers participate in trainings and are background checked if they are over 18 years old.

Child Abuse & Neglect: We are required by North Carolina law to report suspected cases of child abuse and/or neglect. If such a case should arise, the alerted staff member will report it immediately to the director, who will notify the Protective Services Unit of the Department of Social Services.
