However, anyone deemed a threat/destructive to a child/the program will be asked to leave.

Communication between home and school is vital to a successful preschool program. Monthly newsletters and weekly activity and lunch plans are sent in advance via email to parents and are always posted in the classroom. For non-emergency information, CSA communicates with parents by phone, email, and here on the website. Also, thanks to live stream video in their classrooms, never miss a moment of your child’s day. Not only can you see what exciting adventures your little one is up to, but you also love the open and transparent relationship with your child’s teachers every day.

What Is The Dress Code For My Child?

At Center Stage, the classroom extends to the outdoors. We take the children outside to explore our playground and play area as much as possible, and safety is of the utmost importance. For this reason, we ask that your children dress appropriately for the weather and wear closed-toe shoes while at the preschool. Upon the first day of enrollment, we ask that you provide an extra change of clothing for your child to keep in their cubby in case of accidents. Clothing must be in a zip-lock bag, with their name labeled on it.
