Enrollment Essentials

Before joining our waitlist, or enrolling your child, all parties must meet and make sure it is a good fit for the family, child, and teachers. Our program’s intimate atmosphere allows children to learn and explore at their own pace while having ample one-on-one time with teachers and peers. That’s why it’s vital everyone feels comfortable, safe and loved!

Children in the preschool program bring their own sack lunch. We offer a healthy morning and afternoon snack with a combination of grains/fruits/vegetables & dairy for each program. (If your child has special dietary needs I will do my best to accommodate this, however you may be asked to provide all or part of your child’s snack items.)

Many children have a hard time with separation form their parent/guardian. To help make the transition easier for your child be clear with your intent and direct them to me or to the morning circle activity.
Be sure to say good-bye and let them know you will return. Do not try and sneak away. In my experience the quicker and clearer you make the transition the easier it will become for you and your child.
Arriving on time so your child has a chance to explore our morning activity, and be a part of morning learning circle is essential.
Please make sure you are prompt for pick-up times. A $5.00 fee will be charged for the first 15 minutes, and $1.00 per minute after the first 15 minutes. Please put late arrival fees in tuition box.
If you need to pick up your child early, or arrive late in the morning, please make prior arrangement with the teacher.
