Frequently Asked Questions

We enroll children ages 8 weeks through 5 years. Classroom placement is based on developmental readiness and birthdate. 

Our school is open Monday through Friday from 7:30 AM to 5:30 PM.

We follow The Creative Curriculum, a research-based early childhood curriculum that helps children learn through hands-on, meaningful experiences. 

Yes! We love being outdoors! Weather permitting, we go outside twice a day—once in the morning and once in the afternoon. Our outdoor time is more than just play; it’s an important part of our learning.

We treat our outdoor space as an extension of the classroom, where children can explore nature, build gross motor skills, work together, and engage in creative play. Whether they’re collecting leaves, building with loose parts, or playing movement games, they’re learning while having fun in the fresh air!

We are a private childcare provider, but we proudly accept the Florida VPK (Voluntary Prekindergarten) voucher. 

Enrolling your child is easy! Here’s how:

1. Contact us to schedule a tour or get more information.

2. We’ll provide you with an enrollment packet that includes all required forms.

3. Return the completed forms along with updated immunization and physical records from an in-state pediatrician. 

4. Once we have all the paperwork, we’ll confirm your child’s spot and share important start-up details.

To help your child have a comfortable and successful day, please send the following items:

• A cold lunch with an ice pack (we are not able to heat food)

• A spill-resistant water cup labeled with your child’s name

• Diapers and wipes (if applicable)

• A full change of clothes, including socks and underwear, in a labeled ziplock bag

• Sneakers and socks for safe play — please no Crocs, sandals, or open-toed shoes

• A crib sheet and small blanket for rest time

We recommend labeling all personal items to help prevent mix-ups

We follow strict health guidelines. Children must be fever free, and symptom free for 24 hours without medications before returning to school. 

We use daily reports, family newsletters and direct text/email contact with administration.  

Please dress your child in comfortable, weather-appropriate play clothes that can get messy—we do lots of painting, playing, and outdoor exploring!

We also ask that children wear sneakers and socks every day for safety during active play.

Please avoid Crocs, sandals, or open-toed shoes.

Children must be fully potty trained by age 3 to remain in our preschool program.

What does “fully potty trained” mean?

• Your child wears underwear, not diapers or pull-ups, during the day.

• They can recognize when they need to go and use the toilet with minimal help.

• They are able to independently dress and undress themselves to use the restroom.
