Name identification is required for every child and bag. Each parent must sign their child in and out. They are to indicate if someone else will be picking up the child on the sign-out sheet. 2. There will be an attendant at the door when church dismisses to give children back to their parents and the nursery doors will not be left open until all children have been picked up to prevent escapees. 3. The first Nursery Helper on the list is responsible for nametags on children and belongings; and the sign-in in the Toddler room and the sign-out in the Infant room.
