Supplies
Please have your child bring the following supplies to preschool every day: Backpack, extra set of clothes, folders (provided by the school). Please make sure everything is labeled with your child's name.
If you would like to make a donation to our shared classroom supplies, we are always in need of clorox wipes, kleenex, dixie cups and baby wipes. Additional wish list items will be posted in the classrooms as needed.
Meals
Students who attend all day will eat lunch. We recommend that families utilize our school hot lunch program. Per our licensing regulations, if you choose to bring a lunch from home it must contain all the USDA recommended components. More information can be found in the Preschool Parent Handbook.
Your child must be at least 33 months of age and potty trained to enjoy our preschool program. Please see the admissions information tab for tuition information.
