Program FAQs

Classes

What ages do you accept?

We take children 3-6 years old for Preschool-Kindergarten.

Will my child be taught at their level?

We teach each child where they are at.  No child is forced to preform above their ability, and no child is held back based on theirs.  We will do a simple evaluation of each child to place them where they will benefit the most, and will do a re-evaluation mid year as well as at the end of the year.

What if my under three year old child is ready?

If we have a younger group of children (no Kindergarteners) we may enroll children turning 3 by December 31st that are potty independent.  This is on a case by case basis and children will have a quick interview to determine if they will fit in with our current group.

Will my Kindergartener be taught with a 2yr old?

No.  We do not take under 3 if we have Kindergarteners enrolled.  Though a mixed age group has many pros, we want to make sure the gap isn’t too big!

Do you take paid vacations?

No, if we need to take time off for any reason we will provide a substitute for that day (Rarely if ever will this happen).

We do have a late payment fee of $10/day, as well as a late pick-up fee.

Are there additional fees?

There is a supply/enrollment fee due annually of $50 per child.  Snacks and most activities are included, though some larger trips may require a field trip fee.

Other Questions

Is my child required to nap?

If your child no longer naps, they can still enroll for our half day program.  Children staying full day will be required to lay down quietly during nap.  Children unable to nap or stay quiet to let others nap, will be asked to switch to half day.

Are meals/snacks provided?

Yes, all meals and snacks are provided!  We require no outside food brought to school due to the potential for food allergies.  We are not a nut free facility, but can provide nut free options if needed.  We are happy to accommodate other food allergies as well.   

Will my child be around any pets?

Yes! We are a pet friendly program!  Children will not interact with animals except during specific scheduled times, or with the dogs as they enjoy playing with the kids outside.  Both dogs are very well behaved and have grown up with children.  We also have cats and caged animals in the home. If your child has any pet allergies or you have any concerns please feel free to ask!
