Q: Do you provide food?
A: We provide a healthy morning snack while parents are responsible for sending a sack lunch/drink with the child. |
Q: How many children are in the class?
A: We have 12 children with 2 teachers per day. |
Q: How many classes do you have and what ages do you accept?
A: We have one classroom serving ages 3-5. We ask that children turn 3 by November 31st and we offer our program to children until they are ready to enter kindergarden. |
Q: Do the children play outside?
A: Yes! We have a covered area during the winter months and we try to spend at least a half an hour a day outside. We treat the playground as an extension of the classroom and use it not only to promote gross motor skills and exercise, but also for art, music, dance and even circle time! |
Q: Do you require parent participation?
A: Parent involvement is not required. If you would like to participate, there are many ways you can volunteer and we are happy to discuss different options. We have an "Open Door" policy and parents are invited to stop in for a visit or to have lunch with their child and his/her class as often as they like. |
Q: Do you take field trips?
A: We take approximately 6-8 field trips per year to supplement our curriculum. We rely on parent voluteers to help drive and supervise field trips. These are fun and exciting ways to learn about and enjoy our community! |
Q: Do children need to be potty- trained to enroll?
A: We prefer that children are able to use the toliet at the beginning of the school year. This enables us to spend more time leading activities and being hands-on with the class. However, we understand that self-help skills take time to master and are willing to work closely with families to reach this goal. We ask that children be in the process of potty-training at the beginning of the year and then wearing underwear and using the toliet by October. |
