PARENT COMMUNICATION Communication with parents is ongoing with daily take home sheets detailing the child’s day, text alert communication with families and a closed social media account for parents to follow along with the classroom activities.

Weekly tuition payments are set up through an automatic bank draft. State pay is accepted, and financial aid is available to those who qualify.
