By introducing early math and science concepts like counting, shapes, colors, measurements, and classification, we are learning about comparison and correlation.
By introducing hands on technology into the curriculum using the Smart Board and iPad's, we are gaining the digital skills necessary, and preparing for the technology filled world around us
Assessment Procedures
It is important to assess all children in a number of areas to obtain a full evaluation of complete learning. At L.Y.C. the assessment includes:
Academics
Writing
Large and Small Motor Skills
Social Skills
Independency
Maturity
L.Y.C. will share this information in the months of November, February, and May.
Tuition and Payments
All tuition payments are due by the 1st of each month.
Failure to pay by the 10th of each month will result in an additional $10.00 late fee added to your tuition cost.
If payment is not received in full by the end of the month, you will be considered in arrears. If you neglect to pay the sum in arrears and the following month’s tuition by the 10th of the following month your child will be dismissed from school until payment is made.
If you child will be traveling for the winter months or you need to take a month off of preschool you will still have to pay for the month(s) missing class. This insures we hold a spot for your child in class.
