Teachers: Cindy Rivera & Susan Shea & Laura Stockdale

UMC Vista has two paid nursery attendants who provide a caring and nurturing atmosphere for infants and toddlers while parents attend either worship or classes at 8:45am. Cindy and Ryan are active participants in our Safe Sanctuary programs. When dropping your child off in the nursery/toddler care, please remember to bring a diaper bag with the essentials; however, we do have an extra supply of diapers, wipes, and snacks.

Toddlers are entertained through Bible stories, crafts and music as they begin their journey to learn about the love of God and their special friend His son, Jesus during the 8:45am service.

Parents are welcome to bring their infants with them to the church service. There is a cry room on the right side of the sanctuary where parents with infants can see and hear the service.

If you are interested in supporting our nursery ministry in any way, whether it is donating toys, furniture or sitting for a church event, please contact Juna Spitz or Rick Lee, our Directors of Family Ministry. (return to the top)
