Frequent Questions
What should I bring?
Lunch. A nutritious, easily prepared (and easily eaten) lunch and drink. If necessary, please cut food into small, bite-size pieces so your child can enjoy lunch unassisted. Keep in mind that a refrigerator and microwave are available only in the nursery, and we are a nut-free church.
Does cost change month to month?
At the Eastminster Kids Day Out program, we strive to provide a loving, safe, and affordable program for our families. We break down our annual operating cost per child into nine monthly installment payments, and we now have a preferred option for online automatic recurring payments. Monthly payments do not directly reflect days of care in that month (some may have five days, or some only two), but the averaged monthly payment keeps your bill a consistent amount that is always due the first of each month for convenient personal budgeting.
Are you peanut-free?
Yes! Peanut allergies can be extremely dangerous, and Eastminster Church has a strict, no-nut policy for our children’s programs. Please refrain from including in your child’s lunch any foods with nuts of any kind. This includes most chocolate candies like M&M’s. Please carefully read ingredient lists to help us keep our little ones safe.
