Nursery is available for parents with young children during service. We have two classes—N1 for one year olds and N2 for two year olds. Due to class size limitations and safety policies, children must be 1 years old on or before Dec. 31 to enter N1. Eligibility re-opens on promotion day, which is the first Sunday of July.
