Philosophy:
It is the philosophy and firm belief of La Casa de Cristo Christian Preschool that each child is a gift from God and shall be made to feel secure in God's abiding love and care.

Every child is a unique person with special needs and abilities. Our overall goal is to encourage the growth of the "whole child" through social, emotional, physical, cognitive, and spiritual development. A daily schedule which includes a balance of teacher-directed and child-directed activities serves to reinforce, enrich and challenge in an environment where each child is respected as an individual.

La Casa de Cristo Christian Preschool admits students of every race, color, national and ethnic origin to all the rights, privileges, programs, and activities generally accorded or made available to students at the school. It does not discriminate on the basis of race, color, national and ethnic origin in administration of its educational policies, admissions policies, scholarships, program and athletic and other school-administered programs.

Office Hours:
The office is open 8:00am to 3:45pm. If you need to contact the Preschool Office outside office hours, please do not hesitate to leave a message on the machine, which is checked often.

Preschool Registration for 2010-2011 School Year

Priority registration for continuing students and church members has been completed and those students have been placed into classes.  Preregistered students will now be placed into available classes and letters of confirmation have been mailed and should be received by March 1.

New students to La Casa are requested to stop by the preschool office to pick up the student packet containing important enrollment forms, ie. immunization records, handbook, payment policy statement, and others.  These forms are due back to the office by April 30 to assure continued class placement.  Parent’s next contact from the preschool office will be in June by school newsletter.  In August, parents will receive information regarding classroom/teacher assignments, classroom visits, tuition due, Parent Orientation, and the beginning of the new school year.

Registration continues for the 2010-2011 school year for those not yet enrolled. There are openings in afternoon 2day3’s, 4day4’s and 4day5’s classes.  We encourage those interested to contact the preschool office for more information.

Tuition

Tuition is due on your child’s first class day of the month. For those families who have two or more children registered there is a tuition discount of 10% given for each additional child. Tuition is considered delinquent if not paid by the 10th of the month. If delinquent, please add a $25.00 late fee to your check.

If the previous month’s tuition is still delinquent by the first of the following month, the child can be dropped from our rolls and be replaced by a child from the waiting list. Arrangements for extensions can be made through the Director in special cases. If this becomes necessary, please do not hesitate to discuss it rather than become delinquent in paying your tuition.

Checks may be mailed or dropped off in the Preschool Office. Teachers are not responsible for checks. Checks should be marked with child’s name to avoid confusion and made payable to La Casa de Cristo Preschool.

It is our firm belief that at only $18.75 per day, the cost to parents is still a great value. Our goal always is to meet, and hopefully exceed, your needs by providing the very best possible preschool program and experience for you and your children. Families with more than one child enrolled in the Preschool receive a 10% discount toward the tuition of the second or each additional child.
