Questions families ask

Pre-K is for children who are four by the start of the school year. The school day is 8 a.m. to 2:30 p.m., there's a half day in the morning, and before and after care run from 7 a.m. to 5:30 p.m.

Tours run on Tuesday and Thursday mornings and last about half an hour. You see both rooms, meet the teachers and ask anything you like. Children are welcome to come along.

Every child has hard days. A teacher stays close, helps the child say what's wrong and find a calm spot with a book or a quiet job, and tells you about it at pickup.
