Frequently Asked Questions
Question: Is your school a licensed childcare center?
Answer: Yes, we are licensed through the Department of Social Services under license number 561700254. We are a play-based preschool, not a daycare. Our program is designed to provide a nurturing, engaging environment where children learn through exploration, creativity, and meaningful experiences.
Question: My child is not ready for academics. What is your philosophy on early learning?
Answer: We believe young children learn best through play and hands-on experiences. While we introduce literacy and math readiness skills, we focus on so much more than numbers and letters. Through circle time, centers, music, art, outdoor play, and social interactions, children build confidence, communication skills, independence, problem-solving abilities, and friendships that prepare them for kindergarten and beyond.
Question: What safety measures do you have in place?
Answer: The safety of our children and staff is one of our highest priorities. During school hours, all building doors remain locked to maintain a secure environment. Families are provided with an individual four digit security code to access the building, and security questions may be used as an added layer of protection when needed. We also have a Ring camera system monitoring the front entrance to help oversee who is entering and exiting the building. In addition, each classroom has been assessed by a retired police officer to identify the safest emergency locations and procedures in the event of an emergency, helping us maintain the highest level of preparedness and safety for our children and staff.
Question: Do you offer nap time?
Answer: Yes. Around 1:30 PM, children enrolled in our 8:00 AM–3:00 PM program have “Quiet Time” on their mats. Children who do not nap are given time to rest and then transition to another classroom for an afternoon snack and outdoor play after about 30 minutes. Children who fall asleep may continue resting until pickup at 3:00 PM. If they wake up earlier, they will enjoy a snack and rejoin their friends for play.
Question: What about food? Do I need to send anything?
Answer: For children attending our Half Day program (8:30 AM–12:00 PM), we ask that families send a labeled water bottle only. Morning and afternoon snacks are prepared daily by our aides. If your child stays for LunchBunch, please send an easy to open, child-friendly lunch. Please note that we are a nut-free school, so we ask families to avoid peanut butter, nuts, or foods processed in nut facilities to help keep all children safe.
Question: How can I volunteer?
Answer: We love family involvement and offer many volunteer opportunities both at school and from home! Families may help with classroom activities, special events, fundraisers, preparing classroom materials, school celebrations, or field trips. We encourage you to connect with your child’s teacher to learn about specific opportunities available in your classroom.
