Answer? None! Center Stage Preschool is a technology free zone. Lead teachers use tablets to communicate with parents sending updates and photos. Otherwise there are no personal cell phones or tablets available for use at any time.
How do you handle behavioral issues?
Center Stage Preschool uses a unique approach when a child is not behaving the way they should. We use a 3 step approach: Model, Redirect, Glue.
First we model good behavior, secondly redirect their attention and finally, we essentially glue them to the teacher’s side to help with tasks. We will contact the parent if the behavior continues.
Who provides lunch?
Center Stage Preschool gets all lunches and snacks catered from School House Grill. We are able to accommodate special dietary/religious needs on a case by case basis.
Do you operate year round?
Center Stage Preschool is open year round. We are a preschool but also a full day child care facility to accommodate those families who need care year round.

At Center Stage Preschool we do firedrills two times per month and safety drills for other situations twice a year.
Do I have to wait for a specific month to enroll?
At Center Stage Preschool there is no need to wait for a specific month to enroll. We have an open enrollment policy so you can enroll any time as long as your child fits our 3-6 year old age requirement.
What is your vacation policy?
If you need to pause your child’s tuition for time off for vacation, all we ask is a two week notice so that we can pause your payments.
Can I extend the number of days my child attends?
