for child care. Our lead teachers have CPR and First Aid training,
a CDA (Child Development Associate credential), and considerable
experience in early childhood education. Our Supervising Staff
have teaching degrees. We have regular staff meetings with evaluations
and planning sessions. Our staff attend in-service training courses and are actively encouraged to seek further training in early
childhood education. |

Your child
benefits most from enthusiastic, well-trained, happy teachers.
We make every effort to keep a healthy working environment.
Children are in small groups for maximum possible individual
attention. |

~ We have an open-door policy. This means you are
more than welcome to come visiting ANYTIME.
~ Do feel free to stay with your child for as long as you wish
during the first few days "settling-in time."
~ Perhaps you would like to have lunch here with your child if
you work nearby.
~ Nothing pleases a child more than having his parent volunteer.
There is a volunteer form downloadable
on this site.
All Aboard Preschool is your child's school - so we welcome any
suggestions you have as to how we can make it even better. After
your child has been enrolled for 3 months, we will ask you to
fill out a Parent Questionnaire.
Our curriculum contains lots of "Theme Weeks." Information
will be posted on the Notice Board and in our Newsletters. We ask
you to encourage your child to bring along pictures or objects relating
to the theme. |

child is given every opportunity and encouraged to practice newly

environment for your child to learn through active exploration. The

The tuition fees (see Tuition Fee Schedule)
for Elementary Students include transportation to/from school. It
is your responsibility to have your child at the school for the
morning bus run. Children are transported in mini vans, equipped
with seat belts.
There is no reduction for days your child
does not use the transportation. |
| |
|
If your child
does not need pickup from school, please notify us at least
2 hours
prior to the scheduled pickup time |
|
| |
|
• We have fun packed programs with numerous field trips
for all school breaks!
• Parents are asked to provide packed lunches for all
school age children during school off days and vacations |

| Please give us 24 hours notice should
you require this service. In warm weather, be sure your child has
a labeled bathing suit, towel, and sunscreen. |

| We run several different kinds of Fund-Raisers throughout
the year either for Charities or for the Center. We always display
purchases we make for the Center from funds raised for parents to
see that the children are the only beneficiaries. While we appreciate
your support, there is no reason for you to feel obligated to participate. |
| |
| |
| Naturally we hope you will be very happy with the services
we provide at All Aboard. If you refer a new client to us, our way
of saying "Thank You" will be to credit your account with
the 4th week of their tuition charge. |
| |
| |
| Once a year, in August, we hold an "Orientation"
evening to give you a chance to meet your child's new teachers, find
out about their backgrounds, their goals for the year, and to ask
any questions you might have. Be sure to find out the exact date and
time from the office manager. |
| |
| |
| Several times a year, we invite local guest speakers,
such as a pediatrician or a Kindergarten teacher, to come for a discussion
evening with parents on various different aspects of early childhood. |
