SAFETY
At JIBC we care about the safety of all children and we offer a safe and kid friendly environment with adult supervision.  Our adult workers love kids, have received training and have cleared a background check.  When you arrive, please check your child in at the Welcome desk. You will be given a name tag for your child, and a security label to pick them up at the end of the morning.  Thank you for trusting us with your children.

CHILDREN (birth-5k)
We offer a 10 AM class for children 3-5 years in age in the Pre-School Suite.
We provide a safe and loving environment from 9AM until noon so that parents can attend Worship and Connection Groups.
During that time we not only offer exceptional care but take time to teach, sing, and pray over your children.
