Meet Our Staff – Nursery Staff

Tessa Mendez and Ann Zuehlke, Riverside Community Church Nursery StaffAnn Zuehlke heads up our nursery staff, aided by Tessa Davidson Mendez. Ann and/or Tessa will tell a short age-appropriate Bible based story from our UCC “Seasons of the Spirit” curriculum and they both offer crafts, age appropriate toys and light snacks. Our nursery staff is very competent at handling young children, and will work with parents to make it an enjoyable experience for all involved.

We offer the nursery on Sunday mornings for newborns through age 4 at any time during worship or starting one half hour before worship, and one half hour afterwards. The nursery is also available for children who are not quite ready to go to Sunday school, or young siblings who would like to stay together. We try to be very flexible to meet our younger children’s needs.
