Preparing Your Child

Let your child know that his/her school is a safe, secure and loving place for him/her to grow and learn. Speak of going to school as a joyful, pleasant event.  Visit the school with your child before they begin coming so that they are somewhat familiar with our facility. 

Meet your child’s teacher. Your child will be happy and secure if he/she knows that his/her teacher and parents have a good relationship. With your support, caring teachers and a well-planned program, our activities will help develop your child’s self-confidence and sense of security in our program while you are away.

Your reassuring attitude can make the first days of school a smooth and happy experience.  This will be a period of adjusting and adapting to a new routine for some children.  We suggest that you confidently leave your child with his/her teacher.  Assure him that you will return for him and then leave promptly.

CLOTHING:

Children can work and play easily in play clothes. This allows freedom to paint, crawl, tumble, run and participate in daily activities without the fear of getting them dirty.  Please encourage independence in your child by having him/her wear clothing that can be fastened and unfastened easily.  Sneakers are preferable when possible.  High heels, clogs, Croc’s, and flip flops are not to be worn.  Our bikes are heavy so we recommend closed toe shoes.  All removable clothing should be labeled with your child’s name, especially sweaters and jackets.  Necklaces, dangling earrings, rings and drawstrings on necklines of clothing are dangerous and should not be worn.

EXTRA CLOTHING:

Each child must keep a complete change of clothing, including socks and shoes, in his/her cubby. Please be sure to label them with your child’s name.

TOYS: 

Your child may bring books, CD’s, and/or items that pertain to the unit of study to share at any time.  Do not allow your child to bring gum, candy, money, or toys (with the exception of a sleep toy for nap) to school.

NAP-TIME:

Licensing requires a two hour rest period.  While we know that not all children will sleep, we do require them to lie quietly on their cots.  These cots and a cot sheet will be provided and cleaned by the school.  You will need to provide a small blanket.  A small soft “sleep buddy” and a travel sized pillow are optional. 

SNACK AND LUNCH:

You will need to provide your child with two snacks and a lunch.  The two snacks are determined from two different groups of the USDA Food Guide Pyramid.  Please be sure it includes healthy choices.

 “Train a child in the way he should go, and when he is old he will not depart from it.” Proverbs 22:6

Testimonials

Promiseland has helped me raise the great daughter that I have today…

"I sent my daughter to Promiseland Christian School when she turned 2! It was the best decision I have made to date. From the first day we arrived at school, we were greeted with smiling faces. She has learned so many things from the teachers at the school like letters, numbers, shapes and how to play well with friends. Promiseland has helped me raise the great daughter that I have today. The Promiseland Teachers and Office Staff made leaving my child each day little easier.”
