Please view the enrollment page for specific registration dates, information and forms.
All of our Pre-K children are fully screened by their teachers in the late fall/winter. We then set up a conference with you to discuss where we think your child should be placed the following fall. This is a wonderful opportunity to ask questions.
Our curriculum is based on the Christian belief that all people are children of God and that the diversity of races, cultures, and perspectives is a gift which enriches us all. Our children experience God's love and justice through their interaction with loving, nurturing adults who practice peaceful solutions to conflict and differences of opinion; teaching children to do the same.
All money paid at registration is non-refundable. Tuition payments are fully refundable for payments #1, #2 and #3 with two weeks' notice. Tuition will be charged for that period on a pro-rated basis.
We offer a variety of enrichment classes. Please click here for more information.
All of our teachers and many of our assistants are credentialed teachers. We are very proud of our talented and dedicated staff and feel that they are one of the most important reasons the Children's Center is so special. Over half of the staff members have been with us 10 or more years. Several staff have been with us since we opened in 1998!
Tuition fees are set by the year. 25% of the tuition is due at registration, 25% is due July 1st, 25% is due November 1st, and 25% is due February 1st.� Unused tuition is fully refundable with two weeks notice of withdrawl. Click here for more information.
No, we have chosen not to do that thus far.
No, we do not require that children be potty-trained. If your child is "training" or has occasional accidents we ask that you bring a change of clothes (clearly labeled) to school.
We are dedicated to the premise that one does not need to feel worse in order to behave better. Behavior improves as discouragement lessens. Teachers use "I" messages: "I can't let you...," and "I can see that you are very angry." No discipline that shames or belittles a child will be employed.
No. The Children's Center provides fresh fruit, various crackers, goldfish or pretzels, and purified water during each class time. If your child has allergies please speak with the Director.
The Children's Center provides a snack during each class time. If your child wishes to stay for lunch (or come in early in the case of our afternoon students), then they bring their lunch from home — clearly labeled with their name and classroom. We are a peanut free school. Click here for more information about lunch.
