Who's going to be my child's teacher?

You will receive an email this summer with your child's class list and teacher. It is vital that your email address is correct, as this is how you will connect with future classmates to set up times to meet over the summer and make friends. It is also how your child's teacher will communicate with you. If you have changed email addresses since you registered in February, please contact us with an update. If you have not heard from us by August it is possible that you mistyped your email address in the rush of registration. Parents are not able to request certain teachers. We have a fully qualified staff, and make our class lists with many criteria considered.


Kindergarten Information

You will receive an email with an attachment to enroll, if you desire, in the Kindergarten Enrichment Program. These classes are after school from 2:30-3:30 pm and will include choices such as Gymnastics, Balley, Spanish, Daisy Girl Scouts, Lego Club, Tiny Chef Cooking School, TaeKwonDo, Art, Little Vet School, etc. Each class is offered one day per week and continues for one semester. You can choose as many classes as you like. We offer different classes the next semester or continue those that are most popular. There is an additional fee for these enrichment classes. We can add these additional fees monthly to your tuition, or you may pay for them in a lump sum. If we do not get enough students in a class, it will be canceled. Students may also elect to pay the Special Activities Fees in one payment- adding together 10 hot lunches (served monthly), several field trips, and the cost of their graduation cap and tassel.


Lunch Bunch

Starting the second week of school, we offer a "lunch bunch" option for preschoolers in the 4-year-old classes ONLY  to stay an additional hour (for AM students) for lunch and recess. PM students can attend 1 hour early for lunch and recess before their class. The fee is $7.00 per day.  Signing up will be online each month, with the exception of September- that will be a walk in, office sign up on Sept 3. We will limit the number of sign ups per week for Sept, so that many can get the chance to participate. For the remainder of the year Sign Up Genius will be used on sign up day for the 4's program. Those in the 4 yr old program will be emailed a link to sign up for lunch bunch (see school or teacher monthly calendar for the date).  Any remaining spots may be taken by 4 yr old class students who did not do the sign up genius on the following day after sign up. We take a maximum of 10 students per day for AM lunch bunch (after AM preschool from 12-1pm) and a max of 10 students for the PM lunch bunch (before PM preschool 11:30-12:30). Children provide all parts of their lunch including drinks, spoons, and napkins. We do not heat up food or store food in the refrigerator for individual lunches. Payment must be made on the sign-up day by 9 am for morning 4's students or 12:30 pm for afternoon 4's students. Failure to pay by these times means that we will offer that spot to another person. There are no refunds if your child misses his/her lunch bunch day. If we have a weather closure we will offer you a voucher to be used at another lunch bunch day.


Extended care option

Those attending morning preschool or kindergarten are eligible to sign up for Rise and Shine, 7:30- 9am each day they have school for a fee of $10 per day. Sign up must be in advance. Those attending afternoon preschool, or kindergarten with the extended enrichment class can sign up for Cub Club from 3:30-5 pm for $10 per day. Prior to the school year starting we will offer a sign up day, and all other spaces will be filled throughout the year as needs and opportunities arise. Class size is limited based on staffing and state mandated ratio of student to teacher.
