| This sweet footprint shark was created by a local 1.5 year old. The day our little friend created this one-of-a-kind piece, their parent utilized Crisis Nursery's support in order to access court services. Our Nursery offers support to parents and caregivers for all kinds of court related reasons including: attending court, meeting with a legal representative and more. Our program is grateful to have the opportunity to assist families with accessing important appointments, such as court appointments. |

| This vibrant piece was created and named by a 2 year old girl who stayed at Crisis Nursery while her mom went to work. Something about the movement and color will be sure to brighten your day. Job related care is only one reason for care at Crisis Nursery, but consistently falls in our top 3 reason each month. At Crisis Nursery, we understand not being able to go to work due to childcare issues is a crisis for some. We strive to provide quality childcare, as well as connect families to other childcare resources so caregivers are able to remain employed. |

| A local 3-year-old, tractor-loving boy leant his foot to this piece. He loves to help his grandpa on the farm and take rides on the tractor. We don't want to start a red vs. green debate on here, but this acrylic tractor has our vote. While Crisis Nursery can care for children ages birth through 6, ages 6 months to 3 years are the ages we most commonly see. We love to hear kiddos share what they are passionate about! |

When a child stays at Crisis Nursery, there are opportunities for imaginative play, arts and crafts, and more. When a family is in crisis, having a safe place for the child to go where they're free to play, laugh, and snuggle is priceless and goes a long way. |

| This piece was created by a local 12 year-old. The bright colors and endearing name are sure to speak to nature lovers. The "cardinal rule" at Crisis Nursery is to meet children and families where they are. This means our staff are always prepared to provide whatever it is a child needs: Snuggles, clothing change, bath, snacks/meal, play time, sleep, etc. We provide a higher level of care with a trauma-informed approach to ensure a child's physical and emotional needs are met. |
