Please reach us at teacher@lotusheartpreschool.com if you cannot find an answer to your question.
Q: What are summer preschool hours?
A: 9am-1pm. Drop off begins at 9am on the porch. Pick up happens at 1pm on the porch- though often in the summer you may find us scrambling back to school from the park or garden!
Q: Can I choose my schedule or do I sign up for the whole week?
A: Summer school will be set up as a "camp" and it
would be best for the building of activities/events for children to
attend the whole week. If you are really only looking for 2-3 days a week
talk to me and we will try to find a family to share the week with if space allows.
Q: Do I send food?
A: Yes please pack a healthy, filling lunch. We will eat our meal around 11am in the middle of our morning.
Many of our camps will be out at the garden or park for much of the day, so please remember any utensils etc that may be needed. *Please also make sure your child has a full water bottle each day that is easy for them to carry.
Q: Can my child's preschool age friend attend though not already enrolled at Lotus Heart?
A: Yes! They just need to contact me and fill out an enrollment form, all are welcome!
Q: What about Sunscreen?
A: If you wish for your child to wear sunscreen PLEASE apply to your child before camp. We will be outside a lot, but we mainly play in the
shady spaces of the park and garden, so they will not be out in the
sun all morning. Sun hats are a great option too!
*Also, comfortable sandals are fine, but flip flops are NOT recommended- it can be difficult to walk all the way to the garden, and bark chips and thorns can go right through the foam bottoms!
Camps will be $175/5 day week. If 2 families split the week, it will be $88 each.
For 4 day camps, or If I have to shorten one of our weeks to 4 days for some reason (with notice) the cost will be $140/week.
If you would like to enroll for summer, simply email me with your chosen weeks.
In addition, please bring in a $50 deposit per child to hold your spot. (early spring enrollment only)This will go towards the tuition of your first camp and is not an extra fee, but will not be refunded if you withdraw from the camp in advance.
If you withdraw from a camp with less than 1 week notice, half tuition will be due.
If you are a new family, please also fill out enrollment forms found on the enrollment page.
Spaces are available on a first come basis until full. I anticipate more interest than spaces available, so I may draw from a lottery if I receive more responses than spaces all at once!
