Preschool

General Questions

What is the school calendar?

Preschoolers begin in September and go through the end of May.  We follow the Wayland Union School District calendar for holidays, closures, and professional development days.

Will my child bring a snack?

Yes, all students are encouraged to provide a snack. For extended day students, parents may pack a lunch or purchase a hot lunch from food service. 

Does my child have to be potty trained?

Yes, your child must be toilet trained to attend WUS Preschool. We ask that parents provide a change of clothing that is kept in their child's backpack in case accidents happen while at school. 

What is the curriculum?

• Our 3-year-old preschoolers receive instruction through the Learning Without Tears curriculum. This curriculum focuses on early literacy, math, science, and social-emotional development.
• Our 4-year-old preschoolers receive instruction using the Creative Curriculum, emphasizing adult-child interactions in a carefully designed learning environment that is play-based and strengthens initiative and self-reliance in children.

Will my child be able to visit the classroom before school starts?

Yes, an Open House will be scheduled in late August for both you and your child to visit the classroom and meet the teacher.
