Christ the King Daycare located on the St. John Bosco Academy campus is now open in an expanded space.   The new space is located in SJB's new addition, and has twice the area of the former daycare.  A dedicated area for infants is included in the new space, as well as plenty of play area for older children, and space for meals and snacks.  Christ the King Daycare is a licensed child care center and an authorized Idaho Child Care Program (ICCP) provider.  Openings are available for all ages.  Please call Denise Mager with questions or to schedule a visit: 208-962-3363 or 208-507-1194.  The picture above shows the space as the finishing touches were awaiting installation.

St. John Bosco Academy will expand into a new wing early this month.  The addition includes classrooms for Preschool through 1st grade, a new daycare space, and a new chapel.  For the last few years, several classes have met in undersized, temporary spaces.  The addition will allow these teachers and students to move into a full-size traditional classroom setting.  SJB students attend Mass at St. Mary's Parish each Thursday morning, and also attend Mass each Tuesday at the on-campus chapel.  Four local priests rotate throughout the month to celebrate the Masses. The new chapel's dedication Mass with Bishop Peter Christensen is scheduled for March 2nd at 10 am.  The Mass is open to guests, with a reception and tours of the new wing to follow.  Pictured is the new chapel with pews awaiting permanent installation.
