Hello, I'm Deana Ercanbrack and I am thrilled 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."' I am always amazed at how much I continue to learn from these little ones.  It is with gladness that I share the love of Christ with our babies and toddlers.  We use many activities like, stories, music and movement, crafts and play acting to start "planting seeds" about the bible and God's wonderful love for us.

I have worked with all ages in children's ministry since high school after I became a Christian, but I am happy to be serving in this ministry, as it is close 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 child care workers and I an 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.

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

In His Love and Strength,

Deana Ercanbrack
