APPLICATION
Thank you for your interest in The Train Station Preschool.
We encourage new families to read through our Parent Handbook which gives an overview of our program. Likewise, review the particulars in the Child Placement Contract, which will need to be signed once your child is enrolled in a classroom.
We urge you to visit the school to observe our classes in session. Plan to bring your child with you when you visit. We are open to visitors Monday-Friday by appointment (see contact information below).
Since the number of children enrolled in our school is limited by the provisions of our state license, as well as the standard of the school, we suggest that you visit us soon for the best possibility of securing placement for your child.
To initiate enrollment, please download the Application, fill it in completely, and return it as an email attachment (see contact information below).
A non-refundable enrollment fee of $200.00 will be due within 5 business days of your application being processed. A payment link will be sent to the emails on the application from our ParentPortal.
Once classroom placement is made, the remaining forms will be required.
SUMMER PRE-SCHOOL PROGRAM
Dear Parents,
It’s that time again at The Train Station Preschool. We have put together a quality summer program, which we are very proud of.
We have entitled our program “Summer Fun” and are currently accepting applications. Our hours of operation will be 6:30 am through 6:00 pm.
Below is a schedule of themes, and information that you will need. If your child is not currently enrolled in the preschool an enrollment fee of $200.00 is required to hold a place for your child. If your child is currently enrolled at The Train Station we will waive the summer enrollment fee.
Please remember that our summer program is a fun enrichment program, combined with academic lessons. This year we will be using a combination of phonics, math, Bible curriculum and creative lessons and activities planned by our qualified staff. We hope and pray it will be a fun filled learning experience for your child.
The following is a list of items your child will need each week:
• Lunch- If you are here between 11:30am and 12:30pm you will need to pack your child a lunch; we will provide milk, juice or water for those students who need it.
• Pillow and Blanket- If your child is here for a full day and takes naps, we ask that you bring a travel sized pillow and small blanket.
• Complete change of clothes- Your child needs a labeled change of clothing in a labeled Ziploc bag. Please include all items such as shoes, socks, underwear, pants/shorts, and a shirt.
• Sunscreen- Each child needs to bring a labeled bottle of sunscreen to be left at school throughout the summer program. We will apply sunscreen daily ½ hour before going outside to play.
• Bathing suit and towel- Each child needs to bring a bathing suit and towel to school. This should be kept at school at all times for various activities throughout the week.
