Frequently Asked Questions

How can I enroll my child?

• Enrollment for children that do not require any special education services is through a lottery.  Spots available are dependent upon current enrollment.  We usually begin this process February 1st and families will be notified of the results following Winter Break.  Please feel free to contact myself (acall@sau15.net )  or Rebecca Roy (rroy@sau15.net ) with any questions or concerns. 

What if I have a developmental concern about my child?

• If you have any concerns regarding your child's development (speech, motor movement, behavior), please contact myself (acall@sau15.net ) or Rebecca Roy (rroy@sau15.net) to schedule a meeting to discuss your concerns.

What are the hours of the preschool?

  Drop off is at 9:15. The drop-off procedure will be as follows: parents/guardians will follow the established car route at the loop in the front of the school. Please do not enter before 9:10 due to the older students being dropped off for school and the loop is being used by the buses as well. We will meet you at the loop when the buses are gone. Parents will be expected to remain in their vehicle and wait for a staff member to welcome their child into the building. Parents will be issued a car tag with their child’s name, to be placed on the dashboard, visor or hung from the rearview mirror. Parents are required to remove their child from their carseat. Please do not release your child until you see a staff member to escort them to the classroom.

What is the preschool schedule?

• The following is a tentative schedule.  For the most part we will always follow this schedule, but I like to be flexible! 

  • • Drop off/Outside play

    • Circle/Calendar

    • Snack

    • Centers/Small group

    • Circle/Music

    • Outside play/Pick up

• I am a big believer in the benefits of outside play.  It is so important for large muscle growth, exercise, social skills……the list is endless.  So we will go out most days, even in the winter!

Birthdays

• Birthdays are so special and we love to celebrate them here at school!  Unfortunately, we can not share snacks due to the many allergies in the room, but please feel free to send in a special snack for your child!
