Application Information
| Applications accepted | Because our preschool teachers have neither the facilities nor the time in their busy schedules to change diapers or for potty training, all preschool children are expected to be potty trained when school begins. when they need to use the bathroom, they must be able to notify the teacher themselves and attend to their own hygiene. we invite you to drop in anytime for a guided tour of our facility. to ensure that you view the children involved in a classroom setting, the best time for a tour is between 9:30 a.m. - 11:00 a.m.. no appointment is necessary. children may enter this class as five-year olds or they must turn five by december 31st of the school year that they enter the pre-k class. |
