[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I worked in a church nursery for years and we had one time visitors all the time. All staff members were CPR and first aid trained and had background checks upon hire. Many had been on staff for years. Why wouldn't you leave your child in the nursery?[/quote]

Because I don't know you (and don't know you know CPR or had a background check) and neither does my child.  Have you met a 14 month old?[/quote]

I don't trust strangers just because they are located in the church nursery. [/quote]

So much pearl-clutching.[/quote]

Totally agree.  I might not do it if the kid freaked out but really, you all think church nurseries are full of pedophiles and abductors just waiting to prey on your kid?  COME ON.[/quote]

I mean, we regularly gave the kids who came to nursey alcohol and broken glass for snack, but other than that it was a really safe, nuturing environment.

Give me a break, people. [/quote]

I'm totally fine with you all thinking I'm a "pearl-clutcher".  And I totally agree with the PP who said "I don't know you, nor do I know you're CPR certified and had background checks".  The truth is, there is so much variety in church daycares/nurseries/youth groups, I think it's insane NOT to check it out first and make sure the environment is right.  Of course I don't think you'll feed my child glass and alcohol, but I also don't know how good your supervision is, what toys/items you leave around in the area kids are cared for in, or what the other kids act like.

Just that last point alone, how the other kids act, is a huge one right there.  You could have very nice staff but a couple of obnoxious pushy kids.  I don't have a clue if you handle it or let it go unless I hang out with you and my kid and check it out.  Can't believe that many people just walk in and hand their kids to strangers, no matter how well-meaning or nice the church seems.[/quote]
