Our Nursery and Preschool Ministry serves to care for your infants and toddlers in a safe and nurturing environment. Our nursery is arranged according to developmental stages rather than age groups, with each environment designed to meet your child’s needs. Our preschool rooms are fun and exciting atmospheres where your kids will learn, create, and worship together.
The safety and security of your children are our top priority. Our check-in and pick-up process is simple yet efficient. Our goal is for you to enjoy service, knowing your kids are secure, while having a great time.
Check In
From your child’s first visit, we will collect some basic information to get to know your child, and enter them into our system. From then on, each time you check-in, both you and your child will receive a security sticker with a matching 3-digit code, valid only for that day. We ask that both you and your child wear this sticker visibly on clothing, until you leave. (We also offer additional stickers to label diaper bags, personal items, etc.) When dropping your infant off, you will have the opportunity to share any information with one of our leaders that will help in caring for your child; such as feeding and sleeping times. Please arrive 15-20 minutes before service to give enough time for check-in.
Enjoy Service
After dropping your child off, relax and enjoy the service! Our teams serve to ensure your infant(s) and toddler(s) are well taken care of, and have a great experience while in our care. However, if you are needed, we will display your 3-digit code on the monitors in service to alert you. Please be attentive to the screens throughout the service; and if your number is displayed, head to the Nursery/Preschool area to speak with a leader.
Pick-Up
Pick-up is a breeze. First, you will be asked to show your security sticker prior to entering the secure Nursery/Preschool area. (Wearing your sticker visibly helps keep this process moving quickly.) A leader will then match the number on your child’s sticker to the number on your sticker, prior to releasing them. ***If you happen to misplace your security sticker during service, proper identification will be required for release in order to match you and your child in our system.
That’s it! Getting your little ones to Nursery & Preschool on Sundays is simple, and efficient. We hope to see you and your children this Sunday for worship. For tips on “What to Bring” CLICK HERE.
SERVE IN Nursery-Preschool
Our BIBC families are always growing with lots of little new additions; which means our Nursery/Preschool serving teams are constantly growing too! There are several opportunities to get involved. Of course, we think serving our infants and preschoolers is the best serving role in all the church! We’d love to have you as part of the team too.
Here’s how to get involved:
- Attend: Your first step to getting involved is attending our BIBC 101/Partnership Class. CLICK HERE to learn more.
- Test Drive: We invite you to come in for a “test drive” to see which of the many aspects of the Nursery/Preschool ministry you believe God is calling you to. We’ll then connect you with a leader for training and get you ready to serve.
- Serve: Join the team, and start serving the littlest members of our BIBC family.
