FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

DO YOU PROVIDE DAYCARE/AFTER/BEFORE SCHOOL SERVICES?

Unfortunately, due to our small capacity and child-to-teacher ratio, we’re not equipped to handle any kind of care outside of our quality preschool program. This also makes us unavailable to accept any kind of state-funded educational subsidies, including Care 4 Kids.

What is your child-to-teacher ratio?

Keeping our class sizes small is an essential part of our individualized learning program. Our class sizes generally average around 14 children, but we are comfortable having up to 16 children in a class at a time. We have 2 - 3 teachers in the school on any given day. The state requires no more than 10 children per teacher, but we like to keep this ratio lower to pay more attention to each student’s needs.

WHAT KIND OF building SECURITY FEATURES DO YOU OFFER?

We have two entrances to our school. Both doors are locked at all times. Our private play yard is entirely fenced in and supervised while in use.
