- Preschool sessions are available as a 2-day or 4-day per week schedule for both 3- and 4-year-old children. The choices for 2 sessions per week are the Tuesday-Thursday or the Monday-Wednesday combination. Consider one of these choices if 2 sessions per week is your preference since children do make friends in their small group and begin to look for certain children. If you want 3 sessions per week, consider adding Fabulous Friday for enrichment. Monday through Thursday works well for 4 sessions per week.
- Children in the 3-year-old classes should understand how to use the bathroom independently. Occasional accidents are expected, but children may not wear diapers or Pull-Ups due to licensing requirements. Please send a change of clothes in case of accidents.
- Parents wishing for a full-time preschool experience, please mark both Monday/Wednesday AND Tuesday/Thursday on the Pre-Registration form. Your child will be enrolled in mornings or afternoons each day.
- Not sure your child is ready for Kindergarten? Consider the Young Fives class. It delays Kindergarten for a year while giving your child the time to develop physically, socially, and emotionally.
- Children at Oakwood for full time daycare have a preschool session as part of their day. Preschool is included in the full day daycare rate.
