Below are some commonly asked questions about Faith Prep:
Why only half day preschool?
Students as young as 3 and 4 exercise peak performance in the morning hours. We try to utilize this time with learning through play. The activities and lessons are structured to keep children moving, engaged and learning non stop from 9 am to noon. Most children are pretty worn out by noon and many times require going home for a nap and some rest time with family.
Is there a dress code or uniform?
Except for Kindergartners and Homeschoolers, there is no required uniform. You may purchase a gray Faith Prep tee shirt for the school year that your child is encouraged to wear on the last day of the school week.
While there isn't a strict dress code, we do encourage your child to wear comfortable clothing that will move with them throughout the day as they travel from classroom to playground and around campus.
Closed-toe shoes are not required, but your child will be playing on the playground where there is mulch and sand. So shoes that are comfortable for running, climbing and playing are encouraged.
Girls may wear dresses, but we recommend shorts underneath them so they are able to move and climb around the playground easily.
The uniform for Kindergartners and Homeschoolers consists of a polo shirt and shorts or pants for both girls and boys. Girls have the option to wear uniform dresses. The polos and dresses have the school logo embroidered on them and must be purchased through Faith Prep. The colors of the polos and dresses are kiwi green, royal blue and purple. Uniform bottoms may be navy, khaki, black or gray and may be purchased by you from any retailer.
Is lunch or snack provided for my child?
Snack time happens for the children mid-morning. We ask that you pack a healthy snack option and a drink for your child in their lunch box. Children eat snack in their classroom together with their teacher. We do not provide snack for the students because different students have varying preferences on what they like to eat for snack time. Wanting to make sure students eat during snack, we ask for you to pack something you know your child will eat. This way you as the parent are able to see what comes home in their box and know your child has eaten while in school. Please remember we are a NUT FREE school, so no foods with any form of nuts.
For preschool classes that end at noon, we do not provide lunch. For classes ending at 2:00pm, and Kindergarten and Homeschoolers, you provide a healthy lunch for your child. As with snacks, lunch is eaten in their classroom together with their teacher.
When is tuition due?
Tuition is as an annual amount and based on the number of school days your
child is enrolled in. We do allow you to pay in ten (10) monthly payments;
the first payment being due August 1st and the last payment due May 1st of the
school year. We do not pro-rate for 'short months'.
When paying
monthly, tuition is due on the first of each month, and is counted as late if not paid by the 5th of the month. You may pay via cash, check,
money order, or autopay. There are payment options through our online
childcare management platform. Consider having your bank make automatic monthly payments!
Convenient and always on time!
How do I drop-off and pick-up my child?
All students are walked to their classrooms, giving you an easy way to
connect with your child's teacher, say hello to other parents and see some of
the work your child has been doing in class. This is also when tuition payments,
forms and anything else may be turned in.
Drop-offs and pick-ups are on
a walk-in basis through our main "A" building. You will walk
your child to their respective classroom, and pick them up
from there, and you may electronically sign-in or sign-out your child using the
posted QR code or with the teacher's tablet. You may not enter the
classroom.
May I volunteer to help at school or in my child's classroom?
YES! We love volunteers and always have projects and activities we could use help with. We welcome parents/guardians to be involved in their child's school world as much as possible as it engages both the parent/guardian and the child in the learning environment. Parents/guardians may not volunteer in the classroom.
What supplies are required for my child?
Each year an updated class list of supplies will be sent out. Please visit the "Forms" page (and scroll to the bottom) to see the latest supply lists. If you have any more questions, please visit the Contact Us page to send us a message.
