Nursery Ministry
Our goal at Young Meadows is to provide a safe, nurturing environment for your children as you worship or participate in other activities at the church. We provide child care for children ages 6 weeks through Kindergarten. If you have questions about our child care, contact Anna Wamsted, Director of Children's Ministry at awamsted@ympca.org.
Sundays
The Nursery is available on Sunday mornings from 9 AM - 12:30 PM during both Sunday school and worship service for children ages 6 weeks to 3 years old. In addition to professional nursery workers, our nursery staff is comprised of church members who volunteer their time each Sunday to assist in caring for your child.
Weekdays & Special Events
The Nursery is available during the week for various church activities such as needed. The nursery is also available for church-wide special events.
