General Questions
What kind of curriculum do you follow?
We use FunShine Express in all of our classrooms and additionally use Frog Street curriculum in our VPK classroom. Curriculum helps us to ensure that we are meeting all the educational marks for your children!
Is there a sleep or rest time?
Yes! Rest time is from after lunch until 2:30pm. Little ones thrive on routine and need their rest in order to learn best. We encourage children to stay on their cots for the duration of rest time even if they do not sleep.
Is outdoor play supervised?
Always! We follow the same teacher to child ratios on the playground that we do in the classroom. We have several teacher assistants who help supervise outdoor time. This helps to ensure our little ones are safe while they are getting all their wiggles out!
What are the staff qualifications?
All of our staff are expected to complete training through DCF in the first 90 days of employment. We also ask all of our staff to be current in their CPR and First Aid certifications. We provide ongoing training and continuing education classes throughout to year to ensure that our teachers are well-qualified and trained.
How are tuition and fees determined?
Tuition and fees are a flat rate for each age group. We do accept School Readiness vouchers through Charlotte County and Sarasota County ELC. They make their own determinations based on need.
What kind of diapers and wipes do you use?
We use Hello Bello diapers and training pants, and Parents Choice wipes. Please let us know if your child has any sensitivity to these.
What kind of infant formula do you provide?
We provide Earth's Best Organic infant formula. We have both the dairy and soy options available to your little ones. If they require a specific formula, we ask you to provide that and we will happily make bottles of your formula.
