Nutrition

Children in each session of preschool will be served a snack from one of the four food groups; snacks are provided by parents on a rotation basis. Snacks brought for a preschool classroom must fill the requirement of one of the four food groups. Some snack suggestions include: cubed cheese, fresh fruit, Jello Jigglers, pudding, muffins, finger sandwiches, raw vegetables and dip, crackers, yogurt, and ice cream cups.

Nursing Staff

We are blessed to have a full-time nurse on staff. The nurse's station is located in the main academy office and is equipped with a cot, sink and various medical supplies.

Our Health Policy

Children showing any symptoms which prevent them from participating comfortably in classroom activities, or a combination of any, of the following symptoms will be placed in the health room and a parent called to pick up his/her child:

• Fever of 100 or more degrees orally
• Listless behavior
• Stomachache
• Earache
• Sore throat
• Diarrhea
• Vomiting
• Rash
• Eye Infection

Reminder: Children must be free from any of the above symptoms for at least 24 hours before returning to school. If you question whether your child is sick, then you should keep them at home! This will help keep all of our children well.
