FUMCN offers care for younger siblings while parents are assisting in the preschool. Sibling Care meets along with our FUMCN Twos program. The program is staffed by experienced teachers; it meets in the R and T rooms just outside the main preschool classrooms.

Please note that Sibling Care is not the same as having a baby sitter for the day. Siblings are welcomed in the Twos class and included in the routine of playing inside, playing outside, having a snack and participating in any activity planned for the day. This is the first formal childcare experience for many of the younger FUMCN siblings. We want it to be a positive one! Our program is small, maintaining a maximum 1:4 adult child ratio with three teachers and no more than twelve students each day between our Twos class and Sibling Care.

Parents cite many advantages:

  • Sibling Care is easier for the parents because they are not required to coordinate their assist schedule with a babysitter.

  • The R and T rooms are close to the classrooms, so parents can check-in or help out as necessary. Parents of nursing infants are welcome to stop by for feedings as well.

  • Through Sibling Care, many siblings come to view FUMCN as their school, too. They become familiar with the building, the playground, the teachers, and other FUMCN families. They may even meet and become friends with future FUMCN classmates.
