Coordinators
Coordinators are in charge of monitoring and running the activities of the classrooms
on Sunday mornings.  They make sure that all Curriculum Ministers and Captains have
everything they need to effectively serve the parents and children who are checking in.

Captains
Captains are the friendly faces you see when you check your child into the classroom.  
They make sure that we have appropriate contact information for parents, know where
they will be in case of emergency, keep on top of pagers, and make certain that all
belongings are properly labeled for each child.  They also note for the classroom if there
are any medical alerts or allergies that a child may have.

Curriculum Coordinator
The Curriculum Coordinator helps to choose curriculum and train and support all
Curriculum Ministers to be certain that the infant and toddler curriculum is carefully
followed.  She also helps to troubleshoot any problems that may arise in the classroom.

Curriculum Minister
The Curriculum Minister helps to lead the classroom through the curriculum for that
year, and supports and encourages all Nursery Workers.

Nursery Workers
The Nursery Worker is the backbone of the ministry, in that they are the ones in direct
contact with the children each week.  They nurture, teach, comfort, and play with each
child in their care.  They get to know each child, and communicates to parents what the
child is learning and doing using the green report sheets.
