Thank you for your interest in New Creation Preschool for the 2020-2021 school year! Here are some answers to a few FAQ (more information can be found on our website at
www.newcreationpreschool.com):
When is my enrollment application due?
There is no end date, but as time goes on, classes fill up and options are limited. You are encouraged to submit your application ASAP and give as much information as you can. If you aren’t sure what schedule you want, there is a place to indicate that. That way I can pencil you in and then we can work it out.
How old does my preschooler need to be?
According to State Guidelines, all children must be 30 months of age on or before September 4, 2020.
Most common follow up question: does my child need to be potty trained?
No! Children do not need to be "potty trained." We welcome children at all stages of their toilet learning journey.
What are my class options?
Tuesday/Wednesday/Thursday morning multi age classes (in general, 2.5-3 year olds)
Tuesday/Wednesday/Thursday afternoon PreK classes (in general, 4-6 year olds)
Any combination of morning and afternoon classes (though according to state regulations, a child can not attend more than one session per day)
Do you recommend siblings be in the same class?
The short answer is “yes!” In over twenty years of operating, we have had many sibling pairs and trios come through. We see it as an opportunity to nurture their sibling relationship while assisting them in having individual experiences. We also recognize the convenience for families in terms of transportation to keep siblings together. Let me know if you have any concerns as you consider schedule options.
What is the difference between PreK and multi age classes?
Our PreK classes naturally allow further exploration and practice with skills and concepts that children encounter in their Kindergarten year. Understanding the need/preference to keep siblings together or schedule needs, we will welcome PreK children into the morning classes and younger children into the afternoon classes.
How many years do children attend preschool?
Some children attend three years, some attend one or two. Many families choose to send their child one morning a week when they are 2.5-3 years, then two mornings a week when they are 3-4, then join the PreK class when they are 4-5. We also welcome children who wait a year before going to Kindergarten and may turn 6 during their last year of preschool.
What time will classes meet?
Morning classes meet 8:45-11:15 (drop off 8:45-9, pick up 11:10-11:15)
Afternoon classes meet 11:45-2:15 (drop off 11:45-12, pick up 2:10-2:15)
What is the cost*?
1 session/week = $56/month September-May
2 sessions/week = $112/month September-May
3 sessions/week = $168/month September-May
* Listed above are the standard tuition levels. Through donations and the support of New Creation Fellowship Church, we are able to offer financial assistance in the form of reduced tuition levels. Please indicate interest in receiving financial assistance on the enrollment application. If you are already receiving a reduced tuition rate, that will carry over for 2020-2021. If you desire a change (either more or less), let me know.
Who will the teachers be?
I will continue as director and lead teacher for all classes along with at least two other teacher friends per class. We have 14 other teacher friends who meet KDHE qualifications/screening requirements. Their schedules will be determined closer to the beginning of the 20-21 school year.
How do I enroll?
Complete the following application! Applications will be processed as they are received. You will receive a Letter of Confirmation by email once your application has been processed and class lists have been created. Keep in mind that this can take some time as the schedule puzzle evolves. I will stay in communication with you before classes are decided.
Grateful for your interest our program,
