For information on Three & Four Year Old Programs and Pre-K, Kindergarten Programs click "Programs".
Objective: Our main objective is to provide a positive atmosphere where your
child can develop mentally, socially, emotionally, physically, and spiritually through
well organized activities. Learning experiences, appropriate for the developmental
age of each group, are provided each day.
Curriculum: Our resources include the Scripture Bite Curriculum Guides as
well as other Christian material. The children experience learning through activity
centers such as art, blocks, books, home-living, nature, and puzzles. Activity teaching
is used by sharing Bible thoughts, stories, and conversation as preschoolers are
in action. Music is provided each day in a special classroom with our music teacher.
Discipline: Our discipline policy is that of redirection by diverting a child
to another activity. If this does not work, a child may be placed in "time-out."
A continuing problem will be brought to the attention of the director at which time
a conference with the parents may be scheduled.
Schedule: Tuesday and Thursdays, 9:00 a.m. - 2:00 p.m.
Fees: A $100 deposit is required prior to the beginning of a semester. It
will be applied to a $25 registration fee per child per semester and the first month's
tuition. Tuition is $22 per day for the first child and $19 per day for each additional
child. Tuition is due even when the child is absent. A two-week notice is required
when withdrawing from the program.
Personal Needs: Parents are required to provide an extra change of clothing
as well as a sufficient amount of diapers for each day. Each child should bring
a fitted crib sheet and a blanket to use during rest time. Mats provided by "His
Kids" are vinyl covered and two inches thick. Parents will provide a morning
snack and juice for their child. Parents are required to send a nutritious lunch
for their child. State regulations require that a food from each of the basic food
groups (meat, fruit or vegetable, bread or crackers) must be served. We provide
2% milk to be served at meal time unless your child is allergic to milk. Please
do not send foods that need to be micro-waved.
Daily Reports: A daily report is filled out for each child by the teachers
and given to parents at the end of the day. This report tells the parent what activities
their child enjoyed, how well they ate and rested, their behavior and other information.
Sickness: We only accept children who are well. We are depending on parents
to help us maintain this policy. A CHILD MAY NOT COME TO CLASS IF HE OR SHE HAS
HAD VOMITING, DIARRHEA, OR A FEVER (100°F OR ABOVE) WITHIN THE PAST 24 HOURS.
We cannot accept children that have a contagious illness. Should your child become
ill during the day, we will contact you as soon as possible. No medication (prescription
or over-the-counter) can be given by our staff.
