Learning ought to be fun!! Noah's Ark Preschool wants children to grow up to be lifelong learners and we believe that making learning fun will help instill this belief in young minds! |
| School Times Tuesdays and Thursdays 9:00 am - 11:30 am The first day of school is typically the Tuesday after Labor Day School ends the week of Mother's Day in May. |
| Illness Precautions If your child appears ill in the morning or is running a fever, we would appreciate your cooperation by keeping him or her home to prevent the spread of infection. |
| Discipline Any necessary discipline will be constructive and educational in nature and appropriate to your child's age and circumstances. No child will be isolated, subjected to any form of physical punishment,excessively restrained or subjected to harsh words or humiliation. If necessary, a timeout period will be used as a form of discipline. |
| Outdoor Play Because of the value of outdoor play and fresh air, we will be going outside unless it is raining, snowing or extremely cold. Please have your child wear sufficient outer clothing and comfortable shoes to school. Please label caps, hats, gloves, mittens, coats, etc. so stray clothing can be returned to its owner. Also, our playground has sand! |
| Health Assessments Since Noah's Ark is a licensed facility, Health Assessment forms must be filled out and signed by a family doctor or the County Health Department. If your child has attended Noah's Ark Junior in previous years, we already have their Health Assessment on file and do not need a new one. If your child attends a licensed daycare, make a copy of their Health Assessment for our files, updating any necessary immunizations. |
