Separation
Toddler classes have shortened sessions during the first two to six weeks of school as part of a developmentally appropriate separation process. A parent or caregiver is required to stay with each child until the teachers feel the child is ready to separate.

Special Notes
Tuition does not cover the full cost of educating your child. Each student at The International Preschools receives the benefit of a subsidy. In order to keep the school on sound financial footing, we depend on the active annual fundraising efforts of all our parents.
Equal Opportunity
The International Preschools admits children of any race, color, national, and ethnic origin to all the rights, privileges, programs, and activities generally made available to students at the school. It does not discriminate on the basis of race, color, national, or ethnic origin, religion or disability in administration of its educational policies, scholarships and loan programs, athletic and other school-administered programs.
