Program
The Preschool program is divided into two separate classrooms: A Jr. Preschool room and a Sr. Preschool Classroom. Together, they are licensed for up to 28 children, ages 2.5-5 years. The ratio of children to teachers is 8:1. Daily schedules are planned according to the needs and interests of the children enrolled. The schedule includes meals, programmed learning activities, outdoor time, and nap times. A weekly program plan is posted in your child’s room, and will indicate the learning activities offered, that are developmentally appropriate for the children enrolled. This program will include cognitive, fine motor, gross motor, sensory, creative, and block play activities. Please send your child with a spare change of clothing, in the case of spills or accidents. Diapers are changed throughout the day in the Jr Preschool room, as needed by each child. It is the parent’s responsibility to provide diapers, as well as any creams or lotions that are preferred at change time. Wipes are provided by the daycare.

Naps
Cots, bedding, and blankets are provided for all Preschool children enrolled. You are encouraged to send your child with a special blanket or item of comfort for nap time. Nap times are scheduled from 12:30-2:30 daily. Please speak to your child’s teacher about sleep preferences.

Outdoor TimeThe Preschool classrooms have full use of the playground for at least two hours per day. The children go outside from 8:30-10:00 and again at 3:30-4:30 daily (weather permitting). The minigym is also available for days of inclement weather.

Trips
During the year the Preschool children will visit local parks and neighborhoods. Strict policies and procedures are in place to assure the highest level of safety while en route to the parks, as well as in the playgrounds. Signs will be posted at the daycare as to which park the children are at, and the route taken to get there. By signing your child’s enrollment form, you agree to allow your child to partake in occasional walks in the neighborhood.
Various field trips may also be planned for Summer Holidays. Permission forms will be distributed detailing the date and location of these trips, means of transportation, arrival/departure times, the number of volunteers needed, and a list of things that the children may need to bring with them (i.e. bathing suits and towels). All transportation charges will be included in the parent’s regular daycare fees; however an additional cost may be incurred to supplement admission charges. Parents are encouraged to participate on all excursions.
