Preschool FAQs

Yes, any child enrolled in preschool must be an independent bathroom user. This means that your child can independently go to the bathroom, pull down their clothing, sit on the toilet, wipe, redress, and wash hands without any adult assistance. A child who is wearing Pull-Ups is not toilet trained. Bathroom breaks are built into the daily schedule, and a bathroom is always available for when a child needs to go. Staff will encourage your child to wipe themselves after a bowel movement. We ask that you practice this at home as well. If a child cannot clean themselves after a bowel movement, parents will be called to assist. Teachers cannot clean children. You are welcome to keep wipes in your child’s cubby labeled with their name for them to use at school. If your child is experiencing excessive accidents—defined as more than two per week over a three-week period—we will request a two-week break from school to focus on training at home. If there is no improvement after this break, the child may be dismissed from the program.

Payments are made through Family Access under the “Fee Management” tab and “Make a Payment.” You will then be routed to the “e-Funds for Schools” banking website where you set up payment. If you are a new user, you will need to create a User ID and password. Then click on “Manage Students” and add your child/children to your account using their last name and Student ID number. If you already have an existing e-Funds account, you can add your student to your current account using their last name and Student ID number. Student ID numbers are in Family Access under the “Student Info” tab. It is listed as “Other ID” below the child’s photo.
