Primary Program FAQs
Are children required to be potty trained?
Yes. All children must be toilet trained before enrollment. We are not licensed for diapers, and pullups are not allowed — only training pants are permitted.
New students must be 30 days accident-free prior to enrollment (effective 9/22/2025). We understand accidents can happen during the adjustment period, and teachers will evaluate the situation during a 30-day trial period if setbacks occur.
Is rest time mandatory?
Yes. Rest time is required for all children under five years old. Resting is mandatory, and nap is available for those who need it.
What to bring: Parents must provide a labeled nap blanket that stays at school. Blankets go home each Friday for washing and return Monday mornings. Stuffed animals and pacifiers are not permitted during rest time.
