Frequently Asked Questions
for
Preschool Prep Program
1. What is the age range for the Preschool Prep Program?
Our Preschool Prep Program is designed for children ages 23 months to 4 years old. Every child is unique, and we focus on helping them grow individually while also building social skills within the group.
2. Is it an independent or parent-participation class?
The goal of this program is to help your child transition smoothly into preschool. For the first few classes, we require parent participation to help your child feel comfortable with the instructors and other kids. After that, we’ll work with each family to guide your child toward full independence. You’ve got this, and so do they!
3. Is the program structured or free play?
It’s the best of both worlds! Our 2-hour class combines structured learning and free play to create plenty of teachable moments. The first hour kicks off with gym activities to boost spatial awareness and physical skills. Then, we transition to arts & crafts, toy exploration, and academic learning. We also focus on helping kids develop school-ready habits, like sitting, listening, and taking turns. The beginning and end of each class are dedicated to establishing routines and fostering independence.
4. Is snack provided?
No, snacks are not provided. Please pack a nut-free snack for the 15-minute snack break. If your child has additional allergies, let us know so we can keep everyone safe.
5. Is enrollment limited to one class per week?
Yes, we offer a one-class-per-week enrollment. We also offer weekly gym classes where you will receive 10% for being enrolled on the Preschool Prep Program.
6. How much is tuition?
We offer flexible payment plans:
• Monthly Plan: $168+GST (every 4 weeks)
• 6-Month Package:10% OFF
• 1-Year Package: 15% OFF
Packages can be purchased at our center by phone or in person.
7. What if my child cries due to separation anxiety?
Separation anxiety is completely normal. A consistent goodbye routine and follow-through on promises can help your child adjust. With time, they’ll feel more confident and comfortable in their new class routine.
8. What if I miss a class?
We encourage regular attendance but understand that life happens! If you know in advance that you’ll miss a class, you can freeze your enrollment with a 2-week notice. For last-minute situations, please email or text us before class, and we’ll do our best to reschedule based on availability.
9. Can I pause my enrollment temporarily?
Yes! You can freeze your account for up to 2 months at a time. Submit your request through our website with a 2-week notice, and we’ll handle the rest.
10. How do I cancel my enrollment?
It’s easy! Log into your account on our website and submit a cancellation request. You’ll choose the last class date, and we’ll adjust your payment if necessary.
