subject: Is Your Church Nursery Pager System Outdated? [print this page] Does your church nursery pager system still consist of a nursery volunteer going out into the congregation and disrupting the service to notify a parent that their child needs them? As churchs have evolved with the use of computers to run multimedia presentations, isn't it time the nursery pager system do the same?
Maybe your church now uses the "serving number" method, which is an LED monitor that displays your number when you are needed in the nursery. This method is useful but often sticks out and disrupts worried parents. The most modern, simple, and effective method today is the use of personal pagers for parents. These pagers vibrate when you are needed and are totally discrete.
This modern method also has many added features:
- No more disrupting the church service.
- Nursery volunteers can stay in the nursery and watch the children while notifying a parent.
- An immediate connection between the parents and nursery.
- It's easier for the church to grow with a competent system in place.
One main feature with a modern nursery pager system is that it increases security for the children and creates an efficient drop off and pick up system. Unfortunately, there are more and more children abducted at church nurseries by criminals or parents involved in custody battles. They are family friendly and provide easy access. To prevent this, parents are issued a pager when they drop off their child. When the parent comes to pick up their child, they exchange their pager for their child. It's safe and effective.
