No child shall be denied enrollment based on race, creed, or color. Children are accepted on a first come, first served basis, at any time during the school year, providing there is space. The child's space is comfirmed upon receipt of a yearly registration fee and a deposit that is one half of one month's tuition.

Security
We want all our children to be safe during their stay with us, therefore, the doors are kept locked. When you come to visit, please knock on our door. If we are all in the classroom and can not hear you, please come to the classroom door where we will let you in.
Conferences
Regular Parent-Teacher Conferences are held twice a year and at other times upon request. Appointments must be made by parents for these other times with the teachers.
Nutrition
Snacks will be offered to the children during class time. If your child has any special allergies it should be noted on your child's additional information form.
Birthday Parties
Please let your child's teacher know when you will be bringing in a special snack for your child's birthday. We recommend small cupcakes or munchkins, they are much easier for the children to handle and there is no unnecessary waste. If you would like to leave your camera, we will be happy to take pictures for you.
