Before Enrollment
 |
| |
Les Enfants, Inc. Preschool suggests that all parents preview the school's program with their children. We invite visitors to tour the school by appointment. Appointments help prevent overcrowding and allow each parent ample time to tour our school and ask questions. To request an appointment, you may email us (please include your name and phone number) or call us directly at (310) 315-0058. |
| The tour allows you to view the curriculum in ongoing classes, become familiar with school policies, meet our teachers and have your questions answered. We encourage preschool age children to join parents during this visit. When you see your children join an art class or socialize with other children in the playground, it will help you to feel secure in the school environment before actual attendance begins. Parents of enrolled children are invited to drop in for a visit anytime. |

Enrolling Your Child
|
| |
Enrollment is accepted throughout the year. Parents who wish to enroll their child after touring the center may do so providing there is an opening. Upon confirmation of available space, a registration/enrollment fee is required to complete enrollment. Our teachers are the backbone of our Les Enfants community. In order for our teachers to continue to learn and grow to provide the best possible care for your child, there is a need for continued teacher training. In order for our children to grow and flourish better we also need to assure the existence of enrichment programs. As a result, there will be a one time enrollment fee of $750.00 dollars to support these programs. This is a non-refundable fee. |
| Children cannot attend school until all forms are completed and returned. All medical records verifying immunization should be current. The above fees are not refundable. |
|
Waiting List
|
| |
Les Enfants, Inc. Preschool maintains a waiting list when classes become full. Children are placed on this list when parents fill out and return both the registration form and enrollment fee. While we are unable to guarantee admission into the school within a specific time range, we do make every effort to place your child as quickly as possible. |
| Applicants from the waiting list are notified by telephone when placement becomes available. Please be sure that phone numbers are kept current. Due to the timeliness of openings, three attempts are made to contact an applicant before moving to the next child. Children are removed from our list if we are unable to contact the family or if an opening is refused. Priority is given to children who are already enrolled in the program but wish to change classes, siblings, relatives, returning families and referrals. |
|
Placement In A Class
|
| |
Several factors are considered in placement of a child in the program. These include the match of the child's age and developmental readiness to the classroom availability. |
| Children who are potty trained and 3 years of age and older are placed in multi-age grouping. Research demonstrates this to be a preferable placement and allows children to progress at their own development rate while building positive self-esteem. It is also in keeping with the philosophy of individualization and the high standards of the National Association for the Education of Young Children School accreditation program. Kindergarten children need to meet State age requirements as well as demonstrate appropriate competencies. |
