We want your child to feel as comfortable as possible on their first day of preschool. We suggest you introduce your child gradually by attending student orientation day. This is an opportunity for the students to attend preschool with their parents, meet the staff and fellow students, and see the classroom and things they will be doing. All children should wear comfortable clothes and shoes so they will be free to enter into play. Long dresses and smooth soled shoes and some sandals can be difficult to play in and may cause a fall. Girls wearing dresses are required to wear shorts underneath as to remain modest when on the playground or during circle time.

Please make sure to bring to the teacher’s attention any allergies your child may have as special treats are served for birthdays and holidays. All children must be toilet trained before entering preschool. Please bring your child to the bathroom before entering class.

This will only be for a short time to help the child settle down and reflect on his/her behavior with the teacher’s guidance so they can rejoin the group. We believe discipline should be an opportunity to train the child in love. If a child has a continuing problem, the
