Nursery Needs

Nursery - a two room facility with a door adjoining in the middle and an outside outlet to a play yard surrounded by fencing. There would be a changing area available near a sink for sanitation purposes - the room should be located centrally to the worship area for easy access in case of an emergency. Televisions would be bolted in the corners of the wall for the children’s usage with a telephone for emergency purposes. A refrigerator and microwave would be in an appropriate area for the children’s needs. Shelving would be plentiful as well as storage.
