CLOTHING:
Please label all coats, backpacks, jackets, and lunch. Soft-soled shoes are essential.
SNACKS:
Snacks are served everyday to the children at 10:15 am. We ask parents to sign-up 3 times per year to bring 60 snacks
for the 3-Day classes, 45 snacks for the 2-Day classes, and 12 for the 1-Day classes. If you wish to bring a special snack
for your childs birthday, you only need to bring enough for the number of children in his/her class. Please sign-up on the
snack calendar in the office. Due to Health Department regulations we ask that you bring pre-packaged food such as cookies,
graham crackers, string cheese, fruit that can be washed etc. Please do not send any snacks with peanut butter due to many
allergies. Also, if you child needs a different snack due to allergies please advise the office.
LUNCH BUNCH:
We offer an extended day program called Lunch Bunch to our 2 and 3 Day Students. The children will need to bring their
lunch and a drink (no glass) along with $6.00 to their homeroom class. When you drop your child off in the morning plese sign
your child in on the Lunch Bunch Sheet and pay the extra $6 fee. If possible, please put a cold pack in the lunch to keep
food cold.
PERSONAL BELONGINGS:
It is recommended you keep valuable toys and/or special items at home as they may be lost or broken. Staff are not responsible
for lost personal items.
TOILETING:
All children must be completely toilet trained before entering our Preschool Program. Children must be able to toilet
themselves independently. Any child in the program who does not consistently exhibit this independence will be dismissed from
the class.
ILLNESS:
Your childs health is very important to us. If your child is not feeling well, please keep him/her at home that day.
If your child should become ill at school you will be contacted. In case you cannot be reached, we will contact one of the
emergency numbers you have provided. Please keep the school up-to-date on all phone numbers, especially emergency numbers.
MEDICATIONS:
Please do not send medications to school with your child. We do not have a nurse at our facility and will not administer
medication. Asthma inhalers must be kept in the office. In cases of special need, please discuss the situation with the
director.
HEALTH FORMS:
A health form must be on file for every child attending preschool! Please turn them in to the office as soon as possible
upon enrollment and no later than the first day of school!
FIELD TRIPS:
Field trips for the 3-Day children will be scheduled several times throughout the year to enrich the curriculum. Children
attending field trips will ride to the designated location on a regular school bus. Permission slips have been provided in
your enrollment packet. Information regarding field trips will be sent home prior to each event. There may be a small fee
for field trips. The permission slip must be completed in order for your child to attend. Parents may attend the field trips,
however, they should provide their own transportation.
DISCIPLINE:
The development of self-discipline and responsibility is perceived as an ongoing process in the childs growth. Children
are encouraged to problem-solve and cooperate. Positive behavior in class will be encouraged through modeling, reinforcement,
redirecting, and the use of alternate activities. Time-out areas may be used, if other repeated efforts are not successful.
Parents will be kept informed if their child is having adjustment difficulties. The staff will work with parents to address
the situation in positive ways.
