Savvy Source's Comments
Question to director: Please list anything you wish parents to be aware of with respect to the application process.
We welcome you to come and observe a classroom in session without your child. To arrange a time that is convenient for you, please call our office manager to set up an appointment (510-865-4536). At that time we would also give you a tour of our school and supply you the appropriate application forms.
Re-enrollment forms for currently enrolled students go out in mid-February. Enrollment for new students begins in mid-March.
Each child who enrolls in our school is put on a two week probation period starting from the enrollment date. They are evaluated at the end of six weeks at which time the parent and teacher will meet at the scheduled conference. If your child is having problems adjusting socially or academically during the two weeks or after, your child's teacher and the administrators will meet with you. At that time, we will reach a mutual agreement in finding a solution to the problem. If this cannot be done, a mutual decision may be reached to terminate enrollment.

Today's “Preschool’s Out” Activity
Trace around your child's foot, with shoe on, on a piece of white construction paper or card stock. Have child cut out the shoe print and add a spooky face. Glue it to a popsicle stick and you have a ghost stick puppet!
