Frequently Asked Questions:
1) Will background checks be done on all those working with students?
Answer: Yes, it is our policy to have background checks completed for all staff, substitutes and parent volunteers who will be working with the children.
2) Are up-to-date immunizations for my child required to enter Little Lambs Preschool in the fall?
Answer: No, we will be asking for a copy of your child’s immunization record to keep on file as we feel it’s your responsibility as parents and caregivers to work in conjunction with your child’s doctor to keep current with recommended immunizations based on age, faith, etc.
3) What curriculum will you be following?
Answer: We will be using curriculum designed to follow Pennsylvania state standards and to supply a Christian foundation as well as using The Creative Curriculum for Preschools as a guide to ensure that our material is developmentally appropriate and child centered. The following link provides more information about the creative approach http://www.teachingstrategies.com/page/ccs_overview.cfm.
4) What happens after I register?
Answer: If you have chosen to take advantage of our online registration option, you will receive an automated email confirming your registration information and then a “welcome” email from our director; otherwise, you’ll receive this information in the mail. In addition, each family will receive a letter in the mail over the summer with information pertaining to the first payment due date, orientation date(s) and what your child will need for the first day of school.
5) Will there be an opportunity to visit my child’s classroom and meet his/her teacher before classes begin?
Answer: Yes, we will be having an open house prior to the first day of school during which time you will receive your handbook and have a chance to visit your child’s classroom and meet other students and their families. You may also arrange for a tour of the facility during our regular operating hours.
6) Do you offer a discount for families with more than one child attending?
Yes. Families with more than one student enrolled will receive $15 off the monthly tuition fee for the second enrolled student. There’s a maximum of 2 discounts per family per school year.
