As the community rapidly expanded and became more mobile, their vision grew. Because each child is created as a unique individual with his/her own needs, interests, and learning style, we believe that each child is entitled to a rich learning environment designed in a developmentally appropriate manner to meet these needs. We believe a preschool program that encourages a child to search out the best in him/herself and others will lay the strongest foundation for years of happiness and success. The preschool program is nonprofit and supported entirely through student fees. Most of the budget—over 75% is allocated towards salaries and training. Each year, the Weekday Preschool Council reviews financial policies and establishes its budget based on the number of students who will be enrolled. This budget is carefully considered with the needs of the students, the financial ability of parents, and the salary requirement of staff in mind. These budget obligations must be met whether all children attend school or not. The preschool must honor its financial obligations and depends on receipt of all fees. Student fees are nonrefundable.
