Mission Statement
As an outreach ministry of IVBC, our purpose is to provide an early childhood program that promotes the spiritual, cognitive, physical, emotional & social development of children from six weeks through five years of age.

Educational Philosophy of the Program
We utilize the Southern Baptist curriculum called "Wee Learn". The curriculum is designed around themes which challenge a child's development mentally, physically, spiritually, socially, and emotionally. We are committed to providing Biblically-based, age-appropriate experiences to allow each child to progress in these areas at his/her own level of ability while enjoying feelings of success. Children are given the opportunity to explore their world, primarily through hands-on activities in learning centers and positive Christ like role modeling from the staff. Parent newsletters will keep you informed about each unit designed for your child's class.

We believe that child growth, development, and education are processes that require a partnership between parents and early childhood programs. We respect and support parents in their role as primary care givers, and desire to serve as an advocate for children and their families in this community.

Program Administration
IVBC Childcare Center is a non-profit center that is licensed by the Florida Department of Children and Families (# C04DU0028). The Director is responsible for its daily operation and the implementation of policies established by the Department of Children and Families.

Entrance Requirements
1. A registration form must be completely filled out (front/back) for each child. In order to guarantee a space for your child. A $100.00 NON-REFUNDABLE registration fee must accompany each form.

2. A yellow Florida Department of Health-Student Health Form (#DH3040) is required within 30 days of enrollment. This document should be signed by your child's physician and should contain a statement of the child's general health, including any significant medical conditions such as allergies, etc.

3. A blue Florida Certificate of Immunization (#DH680) is also required within 30 days of enrollment. Your physician should have both of the above forms in his/her office. Florida Law requires that Immunizations be kept up to date. Each time your child receives additional Immunizations, we must be provided with a new form within 10 days of the expiration date.

4. An "Influenza Virus Information" form must be signed by the parent (Form provided by the Child Care Office).
