Nursery and childcare is available from 9:45 am to until the conclusion of the 10:00 worship service. The nursery at St. Thomas' Church, provides a loving, safe and clean environment for infants (8 weeks) through three years.

Tips for Dropping Off Your Child in the Nursery
-
Make your goodbye with your child quick.

Be positive with your child about the fun things they will do in the nursery.
