Daily Schedule

Meeting Days

Classes for each of our preschool sections meet based on the following schedule:

Arrival

Preschool classes begin at 9:00 a.m. Children will be admitted to the classroom at 8:55 a.m. Please bring your child into the classroom so that the teachers are aware that he/she is present, and so that you may receive any special information or messages. Children do well when they follow a predictable routine (such as consistent arrival time). If you are bringing in your child after their scheduled time, please call to let the teacher know so they can plan for your child. Entry is through the Church Atrium.

We appreciate knowing when your child will be absent whether it is due to illness, family vacation plans, or other circumstances. Please call to let us know when your child will be absent.

Dismissal

Preschool children will be dismissed from their classroom at 11:30 a.m. Lunch Bunch children will be dismissed from their classroom at 3:00 p.m. Children will be released only to parents or a designated adult (authorized persons on enrollment form). If your child is to go home with someone else, please notify the teacher in writing, in advance. Please state the alternate driver's name and driver's license number. They will need to bring in some form of identification. Please exit through the Church Atrium. For security, this is the only door used for both arrival and dismissal.

As a courtesy to our teachers, please be on time. A late fee of $5.00 for 5 to 15 minutes late and an additional $5.00 for each 5-minute period thereafter will be charged. We trust families will work within their scheduled time frames. Families who are habitually late at dismissal may be asked to withdraw from the program.

School Closing - Inclement Weather

In case of inclement weather, Preschool closings will be announced on Channel 4 and Channel 5 as FUMC - St. Charles PS & MDO or FUMC - St. Charles Preschool & MDO. We reserve the right to close early due to unsafe weather conditions. Preschool staff will contact parents in case of early closing.
