Admission and Administration

Thank you for your interest in our preschool program. The primary objective of our school is to help your child develop a positive attitude toward him/herself and toward everything associated with learning. It is not our goal to rush young children into acquiring academic knowledge. Each child is gently guided into learning what he/she can do to accept him/herself and to take pride in and derive satisfaction from personal achievements. We want to help build a creative foundation for a lifetime of learning within your child. Characteristics such as self-confidence, interdependence, curiosity, persistence, initiative and the ability to concentrate and organize will be developed.

Our school is also interested in promoting and developing positive social skills. Building trusting relationships with peers and adults is very important. Our staff is well aware of this. Your child will be given plenty of individual attention. Our program is designed to meet the needs of each individual age level.

Your child will experiment with newly acquired abilities. He/she will discover that they can make things happen. This increased awareness occurs while the children are enjoying sand play, water play, toy riding, shape sorting, block building, kitchen play, dressing up, coloring, cutting, pasting, ball bouncing and many other activities.

Afternoon snack will be provided for your child each day. Snacks will consist of two different servings from the four food groups. Serving size will be based upon Title 22 regulations.

Admissions

STATE REGULATIONS require that each child have a Health Form completed and signed by a physician and kept on file at the center.

SICK POLICY -In case of illness there will be no credit issued. When a child is dismissed from school because of a contagious illness, a 24 hour period after the start of medication is required before your child can return to school. Your child should remain at home until they are able to participate in a normal school day, including outdoor play. In addition, all medications will need to have the child's name clearly marked, as well as the dosage. You will need to sign a medication form each day you bring medication for your child.

RETURNED CHECK FEE-There will be a $20.00 service charge applied on all returned checks. After 2 returned checks, payments must be made in cash.

REASONS FOR DISMISSAL-The following are reasons that our school would be inclined to dismiss your child from our center:

Frequent delinquent or non-payments
On-going behavior problems that become disruptive to our program
Failure to pick up your sick child within one hour of being notified
Frequent late pick-ups

WITHDRAWAL -A two week written notice of withdrawal is required.

LATE PICK-UPS-Our center closes at 6:00 p.m. We feel it is unfair to keep our teachers beyond this time. If you pick up your child after 6:00 p.m., there will be a $2.00 charge per 5 minutes your child is left past 6:00 p.m. This fee is due and payable immediately to the closing teacher. Frequent late pick-ups may result in termination of enrollment.

ATTENDANCE-Your child's attendance is expected and the staffing requirements have been met for the safety of each child. If you anticipate any change in your schedule, please notify us as soon as possible. We will do our best to adapt to the scheduling needs.
