Preschool Thank you for your interest in Central Lutheran Preschool. We would like to share some basic information about our program and hopefully answer some of your questions. Our program is a developmentally appropriate program that promotes the physical, social, emotional and intellectual development of young children. We support parents in their role as the primary caregiver and teacher of their children. We serve children ages 3-5 years old. Our program is theme-based with added emphasis on name recognition, letters, numbers, colors, shapes, books, songs and socialization as well as having fun and making new friends. We offer an extended day supplementary class two days per week to those children planning to enter Kindergarten the following September. This is an optional addition to the regular preschool experience. The focus is on numbers, letters and kindergarten readiness. As a parent co-operative preschool program, parent involvement is required. This means that each family has the opportunity and responsibility to assist in our classroom three times a month (for children attending 2 days per week) or four times a month (for children attending 3-5 days per week) as a teacher assistant. You may be asked to work an extra day during months that are five weeks long. During the year, community building opportunities include: Family Festivals, Fundraisers, and Family Work Parties. Each family will attend our monthly parent education meeting. These meetings include current research on early childhood, parenting techniques, and offer shared support in a parent community. Families will also attend two yearly fundraising meetings, and serve on a committee or on the board. Our program is a non-profit, self-supporting, community-based program. Financially, we operate with a monthly tuition, enrollment fees and fundraising. There is a $40.00 non-refundable enrollment fee. Tuition is dependent on the number of days your child attends. The two day program is $75.00, the three day program is $85.00, the four day program is $95.00, and the five day program is $105.00. Monthly tuition for 2-days of extended day is $40 and for 3 days is $45. Our classroom hours are from 9:00 to 11:30, Monday through Friday. Each family will be asked to contribute $50.00 during the course of the year through fundraisers or contributions. On Tuesday mornings, our class visits the Senior Respite group that meets in our church for 10-15 minutes of interaction and songs. On Wednesdays and Thursdays, we end our day with 15 minutes of optional chapel time with the pastors of our church. This is a non-denominational, developmentally appropriate few minutes for spiritual growth. We have a monthly field trip to explore and enhance our understanding of community. If you are interested in visiting our program, you may call the church office at 575-6490. If you would like to enroll your child, please return the enclosed enrollment form to: Central Lutheran Preschool 1604 W. Yakima Ave Yakima, Wa 98902 Registration will be on Tuesday, September 2nd from 11:00-1:00. A mandatory orientation meeting will be on Wednesday, September 3rd at 6:30pm. The first day of class will be September 8th. You will receive a letter confirming these times and dates sometime in July/August. We look forward to having you and your child join our preschool family. Sincerely, Central Lutheran Parent Board Members, Teacher, and Coordinator Central Lutheran Preschool admits students of any race, color and national or ethnic origin.
