He/she cannot ride the bus to school.  All of our preschool children must be brought to school by a parent and walked into the building and signed in. 

We encourage parent's, grandparent's aunt's, uncles, etc... to come read a book to the class or eat lunch with us.  We also have visitors bring in display's from other cultures that we talk about or some bring something to show the children like a firetruck for Fire Prevention Month. 

We are open year round.  We offer a wonderful summer progam that the children love.  We only close a few days out of the year. 

You may choose to send your child 1/2 day or only a couple of days per week, but the fee remains full price. 

If you have a special cercumstance and cannot get to work on time and your child is registered in our program, then we will watch your child and walk them over to the school for an extra fee of $10 a week.  This is at the Wetumpka Program

we do take several trips throughout the year with the help of our parents and grandparents helping out with volunteering to drive for us.  Parent's please remember all children must have a carseat or booster seat when we go on a field trip.

For our K4 program, we use the Scott Foresman Reading Street curriculum.  The Elmore County Board of Education adopted this curriculum for k4-sixth grade so when your children enter kindergarten, they will be ready.  Our K3 program is using Funshine Express Fireflies curriculum.  Both K4 and K3 will be using Waterford Early Learning which is a computer based program that has Reading, Math, and Science curriculum.  The children love to have their turn on the computer, it calls their name and has their picture on it and when their done with their session, the next person shows up and that child can tell the next child it is their turn.  They really like that.

Anytime the schools close for bad weather we will also close.  We will notify WSFA 12 and cummulus radio stations and call all to parents to have you pick up the children as soon as possible. 

You may bring a lunch or you may buy a lunch from the lunchroom.  School lunch cost $2 a day and breakfast is $1 a day.  You may also fill out a free/reduced form to see if you qualify for free lunch and breakfast.  We do have a refrigerator and microwave so we can heat up anything you send.

You may fill out the free/reduced form on the website at http://www.elmore.schoollunchapp.com/

Prices are as low as we can go to be fair to you and to cover the cost of goods, pay the expences, and pay the help it takes to make sure your children are well taken care of.   

Our program is a preschool program and an after school program.   

There is a $5 discount for each child after the first. 

Millbrook and Eclectic Child Development Program's offer classes for two year olds.  They have enough class room space to take two year olds.  Wetumpka and Holtville Child Development Program's offer classes for three year olds and up, sometimes if your child is close to the deadline date and is two, but potty trained and can keep up with our three year olds and we have the room,  then we will give them a try.  The date is Sept. 2, 2010.

We are open 7:00-6:00 p.m. Monday-Friday. 

The after school rate will be going up to $40 effective the first week school starts in August. 

The full tuition price is still due regardless of attendance.  The only discounted weeks are Christmas break, New years, and Spring break.  We offer a low tuition cost just enough to cover salaries, snacks, and what supplies are needed to keep us running.  We want to be fair to our parent's and keep the tuition at a rate that is affordable during these hard times.
