FAQ
Do you use a Christian curriculum?
The simple answer is no. We incorporate Christian ethics into the daily care of your children. All classes say grace before snack, and we practice the Biblical Christmas and Easter stories.
Are you a special needs preschool?
We are not a special needs preschool. Our curriculum is designed to be hands-on and interactive, which accommodates many learning styles; however, we do not have the staff to provide in-depth special education support. We will make reasonable accommodations for students and welcome Speech, OT, and PT providers. If we discover that a child has needs that make it difficult for them to fully participate in our program or that significantly affect the learning environment for others, we may recommend a special education evaluation to ensure they receive the support they deserve. If parents do not follow through with our recommendation for evaluation and/or we determine that our program is not the best fit for the child’s well‑being and growth, we may need to end his/her enrollment.
Does my child need to be potty trained to attend?
2 and 3 year olds do not need to be potty trained. We work alongside each family to assist your child in their training. UPK/4s students should be consistently able to use the bathroom independently.
Do I need to provide a snack for my child?
No. To ensure all snacks are safe for all children, allergy-safe snacks are provided for all classes. We are a nut-free facility. Children are asked to bring a reusable water bottle

Does my child have to be vaccinated to attend?

What holidays do you observe?

When Brockport CSD classes are canceled due to weather emergencies or local/natural disasters, we will be closed. Please tune into WHAM13, our Facebook page, and the Remind app for announcements.
