Child Care (6 mo through pre-K)
Whenever we hold in-person Meeting for Worship on Sunday mornings at 11:00 a.m., BFM also offers child care in the Sidwell Friends Day Care room on the lower level of the Meetinghouse.

• Child care is for ages 6 mo through pre-Kindergarten.
• Child care can be requested for other in-person events (such as weddings or  memorial services) for children ages 6 mo through 6th Grade.

On Sundays, please bring your child directly to the Child Care Room before Meeting begins.
The room opens at 10:40 am. Pickup is by 12:20 pm.

• Parents or caregivers must sign their children in and out of care.
• If you are a first-time attender or visitor, please fill out our registration form when you sign in. 
• Please see our current Covid policy in the weekly bulletin. 

The child care room is staffed by two adults, usually two paid, early childhood professionals. On occasion the second adult might be a BFM volunteer.

• The room has cribs and changing tables. There are a variety of toys as well as crayons, books, and play clay for different age levels. Snacks are water and pretzels or crackers (Ritz or Graham).

Playground Supervision

• During the summer and on Sundays when no First Day School program is being held for K-8, we combine our younger and older children (Kindergarten through Grade 6) with playground supervision. 
• To bring your children to playground supervision, please sign in with the child care providers in the lower level of the Meetinghouse at 10:45, before worship begins.
