Staff

All our Staff members are fingerprinted and thoroughly screened through Florida Dept. of Children & Families. All Lead Teachers are required to hold a degree in the field of Education. In addition to taking 45 hours of study in Early Child Care, all staff members must take a minimum of twelve credit hours annually in courses relating to early childhood development. All staff are members of the Early Childhood Association of Sarasota and the National Association for the Education of Young Children. Each staff member is also certified in Pediatric CPR, Heartsaver CPR, and First Aid.

 

Discipline Policy

The ultimate goal is for each child to achieve self-discipline. We talk to each child about any and all disruptive/inappropriate behavior and help them to make better choices. Should the unacceptable behavior continue, we will meet with the parents to establish methods of positive reinforcement. Persistent behavioral concerns will result in a parent conference with the Preschool Director. In the event of continued adverse behavior, Little Disciples Preschool reserves the right to deny further enrollment.

 

Requirements For Admittance

Our school is available to children ages one-and-a-half to five years of age. All children ages 3 and up must have completed potty-training and be able to take care of their own bathroom needs. Each child must have an enrollment form with emergency information on file. A copy of your child’s birth certificate must also be submitted upon registration. Please be sure to advise the school regarding changes of address, phone, pick-up people, and doctor throughout the year. Our 1.5 & 2.5 year old classes will include diapering service.

 

Forms Required By Florida Dept. of Health:

Two Florida Dept. of Health forms will be required upon enrollment: a health report and an immunization form showing current and up-to-date immunizations. It is especially important to note any known allergies. Little Disciples Preschool requires that all students enrolled be immunized. Absolutely NO exceptions or exemptions allowed.
