PHILOSOPHY
 
Our Preschool offers a safe, nurturing environment enriched with Christian values, while providing developmentally appropriate programs, for children ages three to five.  Madonna del Sasso Preschool is a place where children can make friends, explore, discover, create and grow through religion, language arts, art, music and movement, and science and math to provide a quality foundation for the child’s lifelong learning.

GOAL
 
The goal of Madonna del Sasso Preschool is to assist and support our school families in providing a secure, loving environment for their children.  This goal is achieved by blending cognitive, emotional, social, spiritual, and physical development, to allow each child to reach his/her potential. 

ADMISSION POLICY
 
Children range in age from at least 3 years of age by  September 1 to entry into kindergarten, and must be toilet trained before starting preschool.
 
Copies of birth and baptismal certificates for all Catholic students and birth certificates for non-Catholic students must be presented at the time of registration.
 
A physical examination along with certification of required vaccinations (3 polio, 4 DTP, 1 MMR, the Hib and Hep B series) must be presented at the time of registration, together with a tuberculin test or waiver from the child's physician on the physician's report.  THE ABOVE DOCUMENTS MUST BE ON FILE BEFORE THE CHILD CAN ATTEND SCHOOL (California state law requirement).
 
A non-refundable registration fee of $300.00 must be paid at the time of registration, payable to “Madonna del Sasso Preschool”.
           
A child will not be fully registered at Madonna del Sasso Preschool until the parent/guardian has agreed in writing to uphold the educational philosophy and goals of the school stated in the admission agreement.
           
A child may be removed from school due to: failure to meet financial obligations; consistent behavioral problems on part of the enrolled student; actions on the part of family members of the enrolled student that negatively impact the school; and consistent tardiness in picking up the student.

The Department of Social Services has the authority as the child daycare licensing agency to inspect and audit child or facility records and interview children or staff without prior consent.  In addition, the Department has the authority to observe the physical conditions of the preschool program and site to ensure absence of abuse, neglect, or inappropriate placement of children.

DAILY PROCEDURES
 
Each person who signs the child in and out of Preschool must sign his/her full legal name in the designated  book.  Families are responsible for informing other adults who pick up the child of this policy, which is required by state law  [section 101229.1 (a) (1)], and is the record of daily attendance. Failure to comply with this policy will result in a $20.00 fine per infraction.  Each person who signs the child in and out of Preschool must wear the designated badge at all time while on campus.
 
If someone other than the parent/guardian is to pick up a preschool student, written authorization to the director or staff on duty must be included on the emergency card or in a separate note.
 
Please call the office to notify the school if the child will be absent due to illness or family vacations.

For more information, please reference the Madonna del Sasso Student Hand Book.
