2016-2017
Glendale Union High School District Early Childhood Program
Developmental Preschool Kindergarten Enrichment
An Arizona State Licensed Child Care Facility
The purpose of this program is to give the students on the job training to high school students
who are interested in early childhood education. The students selected for this program have
had a yearlong child development class. Students have also completed a 5 hour observation on
the developmental stages of a preschool child.
Our preschool is a working early child development lab which focuses on the developmental
stages of a preschool child.
Our Beliefs:
We believe in a quality preschool program where each child is unique and are
encouraged to develop their talents and abilities.
All Children will be in a safe non-threatening environment.
Playing is the child’s method of learning.
Each child will be prepared for Kindergarten through the Arizona Kindergarten
Readiness Standards.
We encourage the child to respect the rights of others. We will respect the child
and their individual development as well.
We support an environment that helps children develop social skills while they
become competent problem solvers.
Mission Statement: We provide a safe, affordable and developmentally appropriate
environment for preschool children to learn. Our goal is to engage all children to become
lifelong learners.
Our Staff:
Jacquieline Kennedy – Program Director
Jenice Blair- Preschool Director
Emily Moyle- Preschool Assistant Director
Valerie Valdez- Afternoon Teacher
Hours of Operation: 7:00am to 5:00pm
Our Early Childhood students will be working with the children from 8am to 2:35pm. Before
school hours and after school hours, students will be hired to help care for the preschoolers. We
will follow the district calendar for holidays. Please see the calendar at the end of the packet.
High school students will be teaching lessons the following hours:
Period 1-8:00- 8:55, Period 2-9:00-9:55, Period 3 10:00- 11:00 and Period 7- 1:35-2:35.
Enrollment: Any child who is three years old and is fully toilet trained can enroll in our
preschool. We are not licensed by the state to change diapers. The boy/girl ratio is a
consideration, as well as 4 and 5 day students. Registration begins in March for the following
school year.
Application/Deposit Fee- There is a $100.00 non-refundable deposit/ application fee that will
help pay for supplies throughout the year which include a preschool shirt, pizza Wednesdays,
classroom supply, as needed and laundry detergent for washing all sheets and blankets each
week.
Waiting List: Our waiting list is filled by the following steps:
1. Returning preschoolers
2. Washington staff employees/ District employees
3. Community
Attendance: Please call our preschool office as soon as possible to report the absence of your
preschooler. Attendance is very important when it comes to academics and lesson planning for
our preschool staff and high school students.
Discipline: The Glendale Union High School District C.O.O.P Preschools support positive
discipline, which encourages guidance and self-regulation. The purpose of guidance and self-
regulation is to help children learn appropriate behavior and self-control. Our staff will define,
model and encourage appropriate behavior at all times. Whenever possible, the staff will
explain why a particular behavior is not allowed, then redirect the child in an alternative center
or direction. The child will be assisted in acceptable activities as they play and interact with
others. Parental involvement in discipline and redirection is crucial for the child in order to
have consistency between home and school. Our preschool practice is not to make parent
contact throughout the day unless it is an emergency. (See page 8)
Removal of the Program: A child who is threat to the health, safety and the learning
environment of the other children can or will be removed from the program. Once a 30 day
behavior management plan has been implemented by both the director and the parents and does
not seem to work, the child will be removed from our program at that time. In addition, this
program may not be suitable for the learning style of your child. They may be overwhelmed due
to the many transitions through the day. With this type of situation the preschool staff will
individually work with the parent and child to find the best solution and program for your child.
Arrival & Departure: You must park in the faculty parking lot (preschool reserved spaces)
when dropping your child off for the day. Please do not pull into the back parking lot at any
time when dropping off your child. Children must be accompanied into the preschool by an
authorized person and signed in daily. Children will be dismissed only to the parents or an
authorized adult. A picture ID and a signature are required by the authorized adult before
release.
We will ask all parents to have on file a list of name and phone numbers of people other than
yourself who have permission to pick up your child. We will require a picture ID from the
person who picks up your child and prior written notification from you. For the first few weeks
parents may be asked to show identification until you are recognized. The safety of your child
will always come first!
We also ask that you please make sure that your child arrives by 8:00 at the latest. It
becomes a distraction to the preschoolers and staff as children begin to walk in late and
kids begin to become off task. High school lessons also start at 8:10 so we would
appreciate them being here on time for morning lessons.
Transportation: Transportation is not provided by Washington High School. It is the parent’s
responsibility to get their child to and from school throughout the day.
What to bring: Please bring an extra set of clothes (socks, shirts, underwear, shoes, shorts or
pants) in a large zip-lock bag with your child’s name written on the bag. Please make sure you
send your children in tennis shoes as well. MAKE SURE TO LABEL ALL JACKETS OR
EXTRA CLOTHES WITH YOUR CHILDS NAME ON IT! They will also need a complete
lunch box with a cold pack. The children will also need a water bottle that they can keep in the
preschool throughout the year. These water bottles are washed and sanitized each day by our
preschool staff for sanitary purposes. Small tube of toothpaste for our tooth brushing program.
Lastly, the child will also need a crib fitted sheet for their nap time (We will use these to slip
over our resting mats. This is an item required by the County Health Department).
Rest Time: Quiet time is mandatory for all children for 1 hour throughout the day. We usually
start this hour after lunch time from 12:15pm-1:30pm. The children are not required to sleep, just
rest. Rest mats will be provided for all children. Each child will be responsible for bringing a
crib sheet to slip over their mats. A small blanket is recommended to allow the child to cover up
if they get cold.
Food: There will be a morning and afternoon snack served daily. These snacks consist of two to
three food groups. Breakfast will also be available for anyone arriving to school before 7:30 am.
Breakfast will consist of fresh fruit and cereal each day. We will provide lunch on Wednesday
which will consist of pizza, a fruit, a vegetable and milk. The parent must provide lunch for their
child the rest of the week. To support the Empower Program, we follow the Family Style Dining
Method for ALL meals. This is where children choose the quantity and selection of food during
meal time. Please visit http://azdhs.gov/empower-program for more information regarding our
Family style dining.
Please send your child’s lunch to school in a lunch box or bag with a cold pack insert. We do
not have room to refrigerate all the lunches. Remember that fresh fruits and vegetables, yogurt
and cheese are all good sides to their lunches. Please provide healthy options in your children’s
lunch.
Birthdays: Birthdays are very special for children. Your child may want to bring in a treat to
share with the class on his or her special day. Please inform the teacher in advance if you are
planning on bringing a treat. Any food brought in must be purchased from the store. State law
prohibits serving food that has not been prepared in a licensed kitchen.
Visitors: You are welcome to observe activities that your child is engaging in during hours of
operation. Visitors will be supervised by staff in the preschool. You must sign in at the front
office before stopping by the preschool. The regular class schedule will be followed during your
visit.
Parent Participation: It is mandatory for parents to become actively involved in our
developmental preschool. We would like if one or both sets of parents can come and spend a
half day during the morning. We encourage you to volunteer before the winter break. You are
welcome any time to stop by and see your preschooler at play. We encourage you to join us on
field trips and during special events during the school year. We will always notify you in
advance of these times. If you would like to volunteer throughout the school year, you must fill
out volunteer paperwork through the front office and follow the District Volunteer policies.
Field Trips: We will be taking two field trips per year. We will extend the invite to parents for
those field trips and field trips are chaperoned by the High School Students and Staff. Every
child must have a signed permission slip in order to participate. We will take the district bus
during these trips. All participants will wear their preschool t-shirts for reasons of
identification. Your child will be assigned an Early Childhood high school student or an
affiliated adult at all times.
Confidentiality: The preschool staff is always available to discuss a concern or assist in helping
you child adjust to school. The information you provide on the application form will be held in
strict confidence. State law does require that we report any signs of abuse or neglect.
Dismissal: Please be considerate and pick up your child on time. Our preschool closes at
5:00pm. There will be a $15.00 late charge when picking your child up after 5pm and there is a
$1 fee added for every minute as well. There will be a form you fill out before you leave the
preschool that evening and the fee will be due upon arrival the next day.
Tuition: By the 1st of each month tuition is due. GUHSD Early Childhood Preschools are a non-
profit organization and we depend solely on the tuition money to pay salaries, snacks, supplies
and equipment. If your child’s tuition is not paid by the 5th of the month they must remain home
until tuition is current. In addition, a $10 per day late fee will be applied.
If we receive an insufficient check you will be charged a retuned check fee of $15.00. If this
occurs a second time, you will be asked to make all payments in cash or money orders. We do
not accept credit or debit cards.
The application fee and tuition is non-refundable. Make sure you call the director and
communicate what days your child will be attending.
Tuition is based on the number of days throughout the month based on 4 and 5 day enrollment.
Parents are not refunded if the child misses a day(s) throughout the month. Parents may not
swap days due to an absence in the week. This interferes with the structure as well as routine
throughout the day. Children strive on consistency, therefore we cannot accommodate changes
to your child’s weekly schedule.
DES/First Things First Scholarship: (Not available at all locations) DES and First Things First
only pay for the days your child attends. Please understand that you are responsible for the daily
amount due if your child is absent.
Parent Teacher Conferences: We will hold a parent orientation meeting the week before
school begins to meet the teachers and explain expectations throughout the school year. We
will also hold parent teacher conferences during the months of October and March to update
you on your child’s growth throughout the year.
Health and Wellness:
We cannot administer any medication (Prescription or over the counter)
It is the parent’s responsibility to carry medical insurance for their child.
If you child shows signs of illness such as diarrhea, vomiting, or a fever, please keep the
child at home.
If the child becomes ill during the day, we will notify a parent by phone. We expect
parents to make arrangements to pick up the child immediately.
There will be an Emergency Medical Card which is supplied by the state in your packet.
It must be filled out by the first day your child attends school.
We have a registered nurse on campus who is available most days from 8am to 3pm.
We also have a Nurse from First things First that will be attending once a quarter to help
address any health concerns in the preschool.
Illness Guidelines:
Here are some guidelines that might be helpful in keeping your child as healthy as possible. As
you know, preschoolers do not have the same kinds of self-care skills for a cold or infection as
school-age children. Also, young children can be in very close contact with each other while they
play. Emergencies for contacting parent are listed below as well as information that will assist
you in making decisions about when to send your child to school if they are not feeling well:
♦ A Fresh Cold - Continuous nasal discharge, cough, watery eyes which has developed
within the past 24-48 hours is considered contagious
♦ Fever - Must be fever free for 24 hours before returning to school
♦ Vomiting/Diarrhea - Keep at home for 24 hours after symptoms have resolved and the
child can keep food and fluids down
♦ Strep Throat - Must wait 24 hours after antibiotics have begun
♦ Conjunctivitis - If conjunctivitis is diagnosed, your child will be prescribed eye
ointment and should not return to school for 24 hours
♦Immediate medical attention (broken bone/seizure/allergic reaction etc…)
♦ Head Lice - Until treated and has been checked by our school nurse
Head lice sometimes occurs in school because it is contagious and easily passed from
child to child. You may want to look online for more information and to find examples of
what lice look like in order to check your child’s head correctly. Please inform us
immediately if your child has lice. We are required by licensing to follow certain
procedures regarding the cleaning and removal of materials (dress-ups, etc.) within a
classroom with lice. We also reserve the right to implement additional procedures, such
as head checks, if a persistent lice problem was to occur. Please get into the habit of
routinely checking your child's head. If all parents check heads regularly, we can avoid
any outbreaks in the school.
♦ Bed Bug Bites-Until proof of Elimination has been cleared through the administration.
Bed bugs do not carry diseases, but can create an outbreak. The most common way for
bed bugs to enter a school is through “hitchhiking” from an infested site. Usually this
will be from a student, staff or teacher’s home which has a bed bug infestation. We
require proof of treatment and elimination by a professional company before the child
can return.
Accident and Emergency Procedures:
Washington Early Childhood follows the Glendale Union High School district
emergency procedures guidelines. Staff employees have the booklet for all
emergency procedures and expectations for each emergency. Each emergency
will be followed accordingly.
Glendale Union High School District Early Childhood Programs will conduct
monthly fire drills and lockdown drills to ensure the safety of our children.
Descriptions of Activities: We are a thematic preschool. Lessons are based on weekly themes
and planned accordingly to the age level of a 3-5 year old following the Early Learning Standards
set by the State of Arizona. All lessons are age appropriate and instruction is based on math,
language, physical education, science, art, social and emotional activities.
Pesticides: Washington Preschool works with a district outside services called City Wide to
inspect the center at the end of each month to spray pesticides if needed. City Wide is not using
any pesticide that is harmful to the children. Washington never intends to conduct pest control
when children are present. Application dates are posted on the parent informational board.
Liability Insurance: Glendale union high school district is covered by The Trust in partnership
with alliance and SCIP. This coverage is updated each school year to ensure bodily injury and/or
property damage liability between the district and the Arizona School Risk Retention Trust,
INC.
Licensing: We are currently a licensed facility regulated by the Arizona Department of Health
Services. On site inspection reports will be located at the front of the sign in area.
Why is licensing regulation so important:
*We provide quality child care vs babysitting.
*Health and Safety inspections are conducted.
*Complaints are investigated.
*Health and Safety regulations are maintained. (Fingerprints, CPR, First aid, supervision and Staff to child ratio)
*Training requirements met for staff. (Studies show training is the variable that has the greatest effect on quality care)
*Access reports to review inspections.
