How will the Preschool communicate with me?
Our Preschool uses an app called Class Dojo to communicate with our families. At the beginning of the school year, you will receive a code or link to join our school.
Teachers use this to send pictures and important updates throughout the week. The Preschool will also send out reminders about upcoming events or school closures.
You may also e-mail, message on Dojo or talk to your child’s teacher and the director at pick up.

What is your diaper policy?
Children entering our three-year-old program must be completely toilet trained. Children must be wearing underwear. A child having accidents daily would not be considered toilet trained. Please note that wearing pull-ups is NOT considered toilet trained. If your child has frequent BM accidents, you will be called to come change your child. Three-year-old classrooms do not have changing tables.
Children in the Infant, Toddler, and Two’s classes are asked to provide wipes and diapers for their child.

Daily snack (sweet & salty) is provided for children in our Toddlers through Pre-K classes. We ask that each child bring a water bottle filled with WATER daily.
If your child has a food allergy, we ask that you please pack them a snack.
