Nursery
We are excited to offer nursery for our volunteer's kiddos who are between 0-3 years of age (if they turn 3 by Sept 1, 2025, they can go into the PreK class). The nursery offers a VBS experience for our littlest "Challengers" with stories, crafts, age appropriate snacks, and VBS music/dances. Volunteer parents are also welcome to take their nursery kiddos to watch the morning celebration skit if their volunteer schedule allows it.
