CULTIVATING GOOD GROUND
FOR LITTLE HEARTS TO GROW
OUR MISSION
Welcome to Early Life, where we believe even the youngest children can begin to experience the love of Jesus in real and meaningful ways. Our nursery is a peaceful, joy-filled place where little ones are safe, seen, and surrounded by God’s truth — brought to life through visual stories, songs, and gentle guidance. Each classroom is thoughtfully designed to meet children right where they are developmentally, while introducing them to God’s Word in a way they can see, hear, and feel.
Our goal is to lay a strong spiritual foundation that teaches children to honor God, learn His truth, and begin to serve others. By partnering with parents, we guide each child’s spiritual growth, creating an atmosphere where their love for God and others can flourish as they grow.

DIGGERS
(Ages 1 & walking through 2)
In this tender stage of discovery, toddlers are learning to trust, communicate, and explore the world around them. Diggers is a cozy and engaging space where children begin to “dig into” the Word of God through simple, visual Bible stories, songs with motions, sensory play, and loving interaction. With plenty of cuddles, consistency, and calm structure, our goal is to plant early seeds of faith while helping little ones feel secure and loved.

PLANTERS
(Age 3)
As three-year-olds become more verbal and independent, they are ready for richer storytelling, purposeful play, and interactive learning. In Planters, we begin to help children “plant” God’s Word in their hearts through age-appropriate Bible lessons, visual storytelling tools, worship, crafts, and routines that reinforce spiritual truths. We guide them gently into early faith formation by showing them that they have a special place in God’s story.

PLAN A VISIT
AS EASY AT A. B. C.
A. CHECK IN
Your child's safety and your confidence is our top priority!
Visit the Check-In Station to receive matching security tags for you and your child.
The security tag is required for pick-up and helps us track each child.
Our trained nursery team will welcome your child and assist with any belongings.
We ensure your child feels comfortable before you head into service.
B. CHECK ON
We have an open-door policy to ease any concerns about leaving your little one.
Parents can check on their child at any point during the service.
For updates or cuddle time, simply visit the administration desk.
If your child needs you, we’ll notify you using the contact information provided at check-in.
You’ll find a comfortable and caring environment for both you and your child.
C. CHECK OUT
At the end of service, please bring your security tag to the nursery for check-out.
Our team will verify that the tag matches your child before releasing them.
If someone else is picking up your child, they must present the matching tag and be on the approved pickup list.
This process ensures that every child is safely reunited with their parent or guardian. We appreciate your patience with this process.

After the service, you'll show the volunteer at the desk your matching tag in order for your child to be released from their room.

If we don't receive a response or see you within a reasonable timeframe, a team member will locate you within the building.
