Child Care at Transfiguration
We are blessed to offer childcare during several parish events and gatherings at Transfiguration including Faith Formation. It is so important to be fed spiritually, and this is especially true for all those hoping to pass on the beauty and truth of our faith to their children. To ensure the safety and well-being of both the children in our care and our wonderful nursery staff, we are conscientious in following state law, archdiocesan policy and parish rules for childcare.
We have found that it helps us all to know what those standards are so that we can work together to see that your children are safely cared for so that your spiritual needs can be met.
Childcare is available at the 9:30 a.m. and 11:30 a.m. Masses
Nursery will be available for children 8 months through Pre-K during the Sunday 11:30 a.m. Mass.
As before, space is available on a first-come, first-served basis. Hope to see your little ones soon!

Did You Know?
- Our childcare is offered free of charge for parish events scheduled outside of our weekend Mass times.
- Our childcare team can care for children as young as 8 months through Pre-K. Our room is primarily geared to preschool age and younger.
- Any individual child may be watched in our childcare up to 4 hours in any given day and up to 8 hours in any given week.
- We must have two safe environment certified adults in the room at any time while children are in our care. In addition, we must meet certain ratios for appropriate coverage based on children’s ages; we must have one nursery worker per every 6 children, unless the children aren’t yet walking, in which case we then need one worker per every 4 children. This is part of why it is important to list the ages of your children whenever you sign up for childcare.
- The maximum capacity of our nursery is 24 children.
- In order to offer childcare for any given event/class, we must have at least 3 children or two families signed up 72 hours in advance of the event/class taking place. (Signup page link is coming soon!)
