Attendance Policy
Regular attendance in the preschool program is very important for the child to become comfortable with a regular and consistent schedule. In case of a communicable disease, such as chicken pox, measles, etc., it is extremely important that parents notify the preschool teacher immediately so that proper notification can be given to all families participating in the program.
