As of 8/26/2020, we officially have our provisional license! Our state inspector came out this week to look over our classroom and paperwork to make sure we are in compliance with the state rules. Rules can be found at here. We passed with flying colors! The inspector is very excited for us and thinks our classrooms look great! We will be inspected two more times during the school year, and after we pass those inspections, we will lose our provisional status. Our program license number is  2200022496 - a copy of this can be found in the preschool office.

Our new start date will be Monday, August 31, 2020. We have decided to change the date to be similar to Huber Height City Schools. We will be mailing letters to our families starting on July 10th to give information about Open House and some changes we will be making due to COVID-19. We will be following guidelines from Ohio's Department of Health and ODJFS to make sure our school environment is as safe as it can be for our students to start. Some of the things we will be doing include temperature checks, additional hand washing, additional cleaning/ sanitizing, and smaller class sizes. If you have any questions, please feel free to contact us!
