must have turned 3 or 4 by September 30, 2008. Children must be potty
trained before entering school. For more specific details, please visit the
admissions area of this website.
Q: What curriculum is used in the Preschool program?
A: Each day has planned scheduled activities based on age appropriate curriculum
for the devolpment of the whole child. We consider your child's spiritual,
physical, emotional and social needs by providing a curriculum that incorporates
all of these areas of growth. We teach the curriculum using different methods to
accommodate the various learning styles. We expose the children to many
opportunities to "catch" what is being taught. The morning routine includes
attendance, pledge and patriotic song, calendar, weather, Bible time and
recess. The program provides opportunities to focus on language development,
science and math through learning centers, art, dramatic play and
manipulative activities. You will find a general daily schedule in the "Teacher
Pages" section of this website.

12:30 p.m. Extended care is available 7:00 a.m. - 6:00 p.m.
Q: Does your preschool program run year round?
A: Our 2008-09 program will begin August 21st and will run through the early June.
Q: Does the preschool have a dress code?
A: The preschool has a required "uniformed " dress code. We believe the
installation of a "uniformed" dress code will help to place emphasis on the
character development of the student rather than on external appearance. To
do this, we feel that we must encourage cleanliness and dress in accordance
with the principles of modesty which is set forth in Scripture. Our dress codes
are intended as expressions of those principles. "Uniformed" items may be
purchased at most local stores or from the FCS approved wardrobe
items from Landsend. Click here to view the Preschool Dress Code Policy.
