What is your drop-off and pick-up policy?
Please call us by 9:00 AM if your child won't be coming in. Children with a fever of 101°F or above, vomiting, or certain symptoms must stay home until symptom-free. Your child may return 24 hours after their last episode.

Do you follow Tacoma School District closures?
Yes. If Tacoma School District closes due to emergency closures (snow, earthquake, etc) , we close too. For delayed starts, we follow the elementary schedule. Closures are posted on our phone line and Facebook page.
What language is used in the classroom?
Both English and Spanish are used naturally throughout the day — in songs, stories, instructions, and conversations. Family conferences can be held in either language.
