Deana Ercanbrack
Nursery & Child Care Director





 Hi,  I am more than happy to serve as our Nursery / Child Care Coordinator at the First Presbyterian Church of Carson City. 'Jesus said, "Let the little children come to me, and do not hinder them, for the kingdom of heaven belongs to such as these."' Isn’t it amazing how much we adults can learn from these little ones? It is with great joy that I get to share the love of Christ with our babies and toddlers. During Sunday school we use many activities such as stories, music and movement, crafts and play acting to start "planting seeds" about the Bible and God's wonderful love for us.
Working with children of all ages over the years has been a wonderful learning experience for me, from VBS to music ministry, to Sunday school, but I am blessed to be serving in this ministry, as it is closest to my heart. I have worked in various pre-school settings in Washington, Alaska and California, where I earned my early childhood education units and certification from the University of California, San Diego. I specialized in Montessori training and gained certification from the International Association of Progressive Montessorians through an extension course of study from U of C, San Diego. I have continued to keep my education updated through E.C.E. courses at W.N.C.C.
Our nursery has been blessed with a consistent staff of childcare workers and I am pleased that we can work together as a team. We have continued to stay informed and updated on health and safety education, as needed. The staff and I are flexible with the schedule of activities each month to best serve the needs of our church family.

Please feel free to come visit us in the nursery.
We would love to meet you and your children!
