How It Works
1. Initial Inquiry
Families receive an information packet with details about our mission, curriculum, policies, and expectations.
2. Schedule a Meet-and-Greet
We meet with families in person or virtually to:
Share our school’s values, vision, and daily routines.
Learn about the child’s unique needs and family expectations.
Answer questions and showcase our environment when possible.
3. Discussing Fit
Together, we cover:
Behavioral expectations.
Communication practices.
Opportunities for community involvement.
4. Follow-Up
We guide families through the next steps:
Complete enrollment forms.
Submit required documents (e.g., vaccination records).
Pay the enrollment fee, if applicable.
5. Orientation
Before the first day, families attend an orientation session to review routines, policies, and expectations — and to meet their child’s teacher for a smooth, confident transition
Family Connections Before Enrollment
At Ark Valley Preschool, we believe strong school–family partnerships begin before enrollment. Our process is designed to ensure every family feels informed, supported, and aligned with our values.
Why We Do This
Our process helps families feel confident and connected by:
Building Trust: Personal meetings create transparency.
Aligning Expectations: Ensures we’re on the same page from the start.
Fostering Community: Strengthens our school–family partnership.
Proactive Communication: Reduces misunderstandings and creates clarity.
