What to Bring to The Ark
- Babies will be fed formula (premixed by parent) milk, juice or water in labeled plastic bottles. (This is a good practice even for mothers who nurse)
- Please bring extra diapers, wipes, and a complete change of clothing for those oops times.
- Please label everything, including pacifiers and sippee cups with your child's first and last name.
Parent Pagers
- Hand-held vibrating pagers will be provided, one per family, upon request from The Ark Director. If there is an emergency or any problem involving your child, the pager will vibrate and the parent will need to return to The Ark. The pager's radius only includes the church buildings, so please do not leave the premises.
- If you do not take a pager we can still contact you using the child registration/sign-in forms that give us your location as well as the last four digits of your phone number. If you are in the Worship Center we will flash these numbers on the screens.
Parent Floater/Volunteer Schedule
