Pre-School Frequently Asked Questions

How many classes do you have?

What days and hours will you offer?

Will your Preschool and Jr.-Kindergarten be accredited?
Yes, we have already begun the process of seeking accreditation from the ACSI.

Will there be a school dress code?

How will the school calendar be designed?
Our Preschool and Jr.-Kindergarten are year round programs. We will be open 12 months out of the year. Our Holiday schedule will closely follow the S.V.U.S.D. calendar. We will offer Winter Camp and Spring Camp for those families needing care over the Holidays (minimal charge applies).

Will you offer a drop in Child Care program for families not attending the full day school program?
No, because of the size of our school and the need to staff at a lower ratio we will not accept drop in child care students.
