Accepted Answer

Greendale Playschool’s focus is on learning academics through play. Socialization and beginning experiences with science, math, letters and sounds, and other foundational concepts are integral parts of our teaching process.

Question 5

What is a typical day like at Greendale Playschool?

Accepted Answer

While a typical day depends a lot upon the class in which your child is enrolled, the basic structure for all of our classes is similar. Each class session is divided into three areas: activity time, group time, and variety time. Children learn beginning educational concepts through weekly themed activities.

Question 6

How many children are in each class?

Accepted Answer

The program and classroom in which your child is enrolled determines how many children are in each class. Our large classrooms house one teacher and a maximum of ten students, while our small classrooms have one teacher and a maximum of eight students. We pride ourselves on keeping our student-to-teacher ratio very low, giving our students opportunities for group interaction and one-on-one learning time with their teacher.

Question 7

What is the difference between your one day, two day, and three day classes?"

Accepted Answer

The number of days your child attends school depends on the class they are enrolled in. Much like an elementary school, each class starts in the fall and runs until spring. Typcially, the number of days a student attends school per week increases with their age. Pre-3 students meet once a week. Children enrolled in our 3K program have opportunities to choose a class that meets twice a week or three times a week. And students in our 4K program are able to select a class that meets three times a week or four times a week. Please check out our Academics page (javascript:void(0))to learn more.

Question 8

Which is better for my 3K student, the small classroom or the large one?"

Accepted Answer

There are some wonderful benefits to both classroom environments. Each child is wonderfully unique. As a parent, you will be best able to judge where your child will be happiest.

Question 9

You can find them on our Enrollment page.(javascript:void(0)) These forms should be returned before school starts in the fall. Returning families are mailed registration materials and receive priority registration in January. All families registering after Open Registration may do so by mail.

Question 13

Does your preschool provide wrap-around care?

Accepted Answer

Greendale Playschool does not provide before or after school care.

Question 14

My child turns three in the winter. Can I enroll them in 3K after their birthday?

Accepted Answer

Greendale Playschool operates on the academic school calendar and follows state guidelines regarding admission. Students at Greendale Playschool attend class with their school peer group. They graduate from one program in the spring and may move to another in the fall, much as they will in elementary school. A child must be three years old by September 1st of the academic year you are registering for to enroll in our 3K program. If you child does not turn three by September 1st, you may enroll your child in our Pre-3 program as long as their birthday is prior to November 30th.

Question 15

Can I send my child to school in pull-ups?

Accepted Answer

Greendale Playschool is not sanctioned by the state to change diapers or pull-ups, so our school requires that all students know how to use the toilet prior to starting school. Teachers are sensitive to children’s need for reminders during the transition to the school environment with the expectation that less reminders will be needed as the school year progresses.
