The paperwork
Bring these to the tour. We'll fill in the forms with you, one at a time.
Your child's birth certificate, or another record that shows the date of birth. We copy it and hand it back.
A recent utility bill or lease with your name and street. The state program asks where you live.
Your child's doctor can print it. We keep a copy in the enrollment file.
The adults who may collect your child, with their phone numbers. We ask for ID at the door until we know everyone.
Families apply for the state program through the school district. We sit with you at the tour and fill it in together.
The rest are our own enrollment forms, and the director goes through them with you. Medical details go on them, privately, once you enroll.

A teacher meets every child at the front door and signs them in. At pickup a child goes only with an adult on your list, and we ask for ID at the door until we know you.
Tell us about allergies at the tour; we ask privately once you enroll. We ask families not to send nuts, and snack is served at the table with a teacher.
A child with a fever or a contagious illness stays home. If a child gets sick at school, we call you right away and a teacher stays close until you arrive.
We practice fire and tornado drills with the children, and a teacher counts them at every door, on the yard and before any walk or ride.

The team
Six adults work at Grain: a director, two lead teachers, two assistants and an aide for before and after care.
Owner and director
Teagan opened Grain and is at the front door most mornings. She sits with families through the pre-K paperwork, and she's the person to ask for a tour.
Lead pre-K teacher
Quanisha leads one of the two pre-K rooms. She reads aloud every day, keeps the morning routine steady, and is glad to talk with you at pickup.
