FAQ
- How do I know if my child is ready for preschool?
-
Nothing is more important in a child's early life than time spent learning and playing with parents. A child is ready for preschool only if you are ready as a family. When a child shows increased interest in playing with other kids, when you begin to sense in your child an urgency to explore, to try new things, to test physical skills, when your child becomes clearly interested in the concept of independence, of doing things for him or herself, he or she will probably enjoy preschool and thrive in this environment.

In - Do you have to be potty trained to attend preschool?
-
We take children from one year old and we do potty training in our school.
Potty training is a crucial developmental stage for a child. Motor and language skills, self confidence, independence, following directions, attention and many other skills are involved in making of potty training a positive and successful experience.
Potty training should not be a discouraging, for the contrary, it is an extraordinary achievement that needs to be celebrated and enjoyed by every one in the family and school.

- Could I celebrate my child birthday at the school?
-
The birthday of your child is a special time and can be celebrated with his/her class. This is also a great way for parents to visit the school. Plan to come in and read a story to the class, or share something special that you do, play a game with the class, etc. Some parents enjoy making a contribution to the class by purchasing a book for the class library in honor of their child’s birthday. If you choose to do this, please inscribe the book donation and have the “birthday” child talk about it. Food items that are easy for children to handle may be brought in. We find that hard candy, small games that come apart and other items in party bags can be hazardous to small children. Please give at least one week’s notice to your child’s teacher so that necessary arrangements can be made.
- Do you need a uniform?
-
Yes, there is a mandatory school uniform: Navy blue T-shirt with schools logo and kaki pant.
Children are required to wear the schools uniform at all time. Please understand children need to be in comfortable clothes, appropriate for both indoor and outdoor activities.
In the interest of safety, sandals, flip-flops, jellies, or boots may not be worn to school. We recommend that all children wear sneakers. To foster independence, parents are encouraged to purchase clothing that the children can easily manipulate. Children must keep a complete change of clothing on hand at school for spills and other emergencies. These clothes, as well as those worn to school, should be labeled with your child’s name (including socks and shoes). Getting “dirty’ is a part of learning, so don’t be upset if your child comes home “painty” or “sandy”. Extra school T-shirts can be purchased at the office.
Children should not wear expensive jewelry to school or items that hang form their neck or ears. Other children are curious and in the course of play, these items may be lost or broken. Hanging items are also a safety hazard as children can catch them on playground equipment or have other children pull them from their neck or ears.
