Questions we hear most

Alabama lets a church ministry run child care without a state child care license. Pillow is exempt. Our notice of exemption is on file, and Earnestine will show it to you at a tour.

Pillow is a ministry of Mercy Methodist Church, so a short Bible story, a song and a blessing before lunch are part of each day, told at each age's pace. You'll see what a day looks like when you visit.

No. Families of any faith or none are welcome, and we never ask which church you attend.

From six weeks to five years, in five rooms: Infants, Toddlers, Twos, Threes and Fours.

The safety page shows the number for every room. We list it there so it's one place to read and one place for us to keep current.

Your child's room, the days a week and the hours set it. The tuition page explains each part, and we give you the figures in writing at your tour.

Arrival, a story and song, play, lunch, rest, then outside and pickup. The day on the home page shows it hour by hour.

Keep your child home with a fever, vomiting or a rash you can't explain, and until they've been well for a full day. The family policies page has the details.

Only the people you list in writing. A teacher hands each child to you at the room door, and we ask anyone we don't know for photo ID.

We ask your written permission first. The family policies page has our full answer.

Book a tour or send the form, and tell us the room and schedule you hope for. We call in the order families joined when a place opens.

Infants sleep on their backs, in their own crib, with nothing else in the crib. Parents tell us each baby's feeding times, and Demetria writes them down.
