Home Visits
Your child’s teacher will visit you at your home before enrollment begins. This gives you the opportunity to ask questions and the teacher a chance to explain their classroom’s schedule and procedures. It is helpful for your child to meet their teacher in their home environment before being dropped off at Little Stars for the first time.
Food
Parents will provide a morning snack and lunch for their child.
Sickness Policy
Parents are asked to pick up a child who has a fever of 100+ for more than one hour for any suspected reason, vomits more than once, has diarrhea more than once, or is unable to participate in classroom activities because they don’t feel well. Children can return to the classroom after they have been symptom-free for 24 hours. If your child needs medication to suppress the symptoms they are not well enough to return to childcare. It’s heart-wrenching to see your child ill and it’s stressful missing work. But isolating your child at home until they are well will help them recover quicker, avoid recurrence, and prevent the spread of illness.

Emergency Closure
The director and teachers notify parents when weather or other emergencies force Little Stars to close. Tuition is not refunded for emergency closures.
Discipline Policy
Teachers help misbehaving children recognize the problem, receive forgiveness, and reverse the behavior. “Time out” and re-direction is used when a child is having difficulty with a situation. Teachers will never physically discipline your child. Parents and teachers work together to solve repetitive discipline problems when they occur.
Curriculum Information
Children are not only deeply loved at Little Stars, but they also receive a well-thought-out early childhood education that prepares them for kindergarten and beyond!

Little Stars’ curriculum considers the eight content areas of school readiness:
1) Approaches to Learning
2) Social & Emotional Development
3) Physical Development
4) Language & Literacy
5) Mathematics
6) Creative Arts
7) Science &Technology

Spiritual Growth is an added ninth focus of Little Stars curriculum!
Lesson Plans
Little Stars’ custom-designed lessons use important Bible stories as the thematic foundation for each lesson series. Our director and preschool teachers use their training to arrange their rooms and prepare lessons to coincide with the children’s interest in the weekly theme. All the classrooms share a common weekly theme and Bible lesson, with weekly chapel led by our Pastor reinforcing the Bible lesson. Teachers communicate their daily lesson plans and activities to parents so they can talk with their children about their experiences during the day.
