Q? Can my child attend an enrichment program on a day he/she is not going to class?

A.

Q? If I forget to sign my child up for an enrichment program and I want them to attend the next day, what do I do?

A.

Email the DP office (derrypreschool@gmail.com) and express your interest in your child attending the next day. Please specify: Child’s name, Activity(s) & Form of payment. Do not forget to sign your child up at Parent’s Place that morning!

Q? Do Enrichment Programs ever “fill up”?

A.

Yes. While we do accommodate sign-ups that morning, we cannot guarantee there will be space in Kickstart or other programs. This is how we offer small teacher-to-student ratios.

If you want a guaranteed spot in Kickstart, please sign up a day or two beforehand.

Fun Friday’s often have a limited number of spots available and this will be specified on the sign-up.

Q? Why are there limited spots and different prices for Fun Friday’s?

A.

These classes are limited in size to ensure we are adhering to state requirements for student to teacher ratios while providing your child with an interactive and fun learning experience.

Q? Do you offer enrichment activities on days that there is a snow delay, early dismissal, or conferences?

A.

We do offer Kickstart and creative enrichment on days that we have a snow delay. E-mail and facebook announcements will be made regarding offered activities on snow delay days.

Q? If my child does not have a punch card, can he/she still attend an enrichment program?

A.
