Teachers
Our Teachers play a very important role in your child's early education and In our opinion, there is no job better than teaching! Each day is different, and children are a constant source of amazement. They are fun to work with, and watching them learn and grow is extremely rewarding. Each one of our teachers have chosen this distinguished profession because they truly love children and our program enables them to inspire, influence, inform and educate the children in their care. It takes a very special person to teach young children and we encourage you to read more about our wonderful and talented staff.
Security
IBK Preschool has installed a state of the art security camera system for our families. The facility’s cameras allow you to watch live video of your child learning, playing, and interacting with other children while in our care. Cameras are located in all indoor and outdoor play areas and video is available to enrolled parents as a live feed to help make your day a little brighter. For an additional fee of $5 per week, you may request your username and password by completing our camera authorization form which may be obtained from the Front Desk. Submit the completed, signed authorization form and once approved, your usernames and passwords will be activated.
You may access our live video feed by logging into our site below.
*You must have login credentials to access our live video feed. Please Contact Us if you need a reset on your username and password
