Enrollment: Enrollments are done in May and the beginning of the school year. During the enrollment, we will complete paperwork, regarding consents, health history, allergy information, and emergency contacts.
- Home Visits: Beginning late August, teachers and family support workers will contact parents to set up a home visit. Children who enroll after the start of the program, will receive home visits within 4 weeks of starting the program.
- The teacher visit is to find out more about your child and to talk about your goals for him/her. It has been our experience that children have a more positive first day when they are able to meet their teacher in the comfort of their own home.
The Family Support staff meet with parents to find out how they can provide support, resources and referrals. In addition, they will discuss the different ways that families can be involved in the program.
Health Requirements: The following need to be completed: Immunizations, Medical well child exam & Dental well child exam
Open House: An open house is scheduled for the Thursday before classes start. This is an opportunity for parents to see the classrooms and the school.
