FAQ

What subjects are taught in preschool?

Religion, Math, Science, Social Studies, Language Arts, Art, Music and

Movement, Learning Centers, Gym, Library and Computer.

Do the children bring a snack?

Yes. The children bring one snack and one drink in a snack bag for recess

time. The children have the option of buying a soft pretzel instead of

bringing a snack.

Do the children have to be potty trained?

Yes, the children have to be potty trained. At the beginning of the year we

collect an "extra" change of clothes if your child has an accident.

How do we know what you will be teaching every week?

Every week I send out a Weekly Newsletter that contains information about

the letter of the week, the lesssons that will be taught and important

school information.

How do I know what kind of day my child had?

We use a discipline calendar on a daily basis. Your child will receive a happy face

sticker or a sad face sticker on their calendar with a brief explanation next to it.

Parents sign the calendar every night. This is a wonderful tool for

communication. It works great!!!

Do the children receive a report card?

We give out progress reports twice a year. The first progress report is

followed by a parent-teacher conference.

Do the children go on field trips?

Yes, we go on two field trips per school year. Parents are required to go on all

field trips.

Do the children ever play outside?

Yes, weather permitting, we use the preschool playground. Preschool has

their own fenced-in playground.

Do you offer special lunch?

The children can purchase chicken tenders from Monday through Thursday or pizza on Friday.

What is the process for drop-off and pick-up?

Parents walk their children to gym in the morning between 8 and 8:20 unless they are already here from morning Cares.

At pick-up parents form a line

out by the Old Gym and the teachers put the children into their car.

How do parents/teachers communicate?

The teacher sends home a weekly newsletter so that the parents know what will

be taught in class the following week. This teacher website provides another means of communication.

Parents can email teachers if they have questions/concerns. We have conferences after progress reports are

distributed. Furthermore, children have a daily discipline calendar that

goes home so that parents know what kind of day they had..
