Mormon Life says: Some really great ideas here.

A friend of mine was recently called to be Nursery leader and solicited advice on how to run a successful nursery.

I’m probably too opinionated on this topic, both in number of opinions and how passionately they are held, but I wanted to share the advice I prepared for my friend with a wider audience in hopes of inspiring others with at least a few of my suggestions.
