Other Information

Children do not have to be potty trained to be a part of the preschool program; we ask that you provide diapers or pull-ups with wipes for your child. The preschool staff will change diapers and assist with toileting.

Preschool serves nutritious snacks and meals daily. We offer a variety of healthy food. Meals and snacks are pleasant social learning experiences for the children.
