APPLICATION
Thank you for your interest in The Train Station Preschool. The following forms need to be completed and submitted with a $200.00 enrollment fee for enrollment into The Train Station Preschool. Upon receiving these items you will be contacted as to your placement and start date.
Also included is a parent handbook containing information which briefly describes our program.
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 daily and we have an open door policy. There is no need to set up an appointment.
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 so that we can ensure a place for your child.
SUMMER PRE-SCHOOL PROGRAM
At the Train Station Preschool, we are proud to announce that we have put together two quality summer programs. We have entitled them “Summer Fun” and are currently accepting applications. Our hours of operation will be 6:30 am through 6:00 pm for preschool and 7:00 am through 6 pm for elementary age students through 5th grade.
Preschool
Below is a schedule of themes for the preschool program, and information that you will need. If you are not currently enrolled in the preschool an enrollment fee of $150.00 is required to hold a place for your child. If you are a currently enrolled student 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 and 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 11:30 am and 12:30 pm you will need to pack your child a lunch; we will provide milk and juice 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.
