What forms do I need to register my child?

Do the students wear uniforms?
Yes, uniforms are mandatory at Pineview for children ages 1-5. Uniforms are available for purchase in the school office. Children enrolled in the full day program will need nap linens, which are also available for purchase in the school office.
What enrichment programs and activities do you offer?
Our enrichment programs vary at each campus. The following are some of the programs offered: dance, music and soccer. These activities take place each afternoon on campus during aftercare hours.
What methods of discipline do you use at Pineview?
Teachers redirect children and encourage children to find a solution to the problem within the appropriate developmental expectations of each child. This problem-solving approach helps develop social skills and become more aware of the impact of their actions on others.
Do your teachers help with potty training?
Absolutely, toilet training is a big part of our two-year-old program as we teach independence and self-help skills. In order to achieve potty training, parents must also continue daily potty training at home. All efforts by children are positively acknowledged with praise and encouragement.
What is your sick policy?
It is in the best interest of our students, as well as our staff, to stay home if they are sick, not feeling well or lethargic. In the event that a child becomes sick while at school, parents are notified and expected to pick-up their child immediately. However, a child who is sent home with fever of 100.4 Degrees Fahrenheit or higher, will not be permitted to return to school until they have been fever-free for 24 hours. Upon enrollment, parents will receive a parent handbook with specific guidelines regarding our sick policy.
How can I become involved at Pineview?
At Pineview, we encourage parent involvement, because we believe in forming strong partnerships with our parents and families to ensure the success of our students’ learning experiences. We invite parents to spend time in the classroom volunteering during special events such as book fairs, and charitable events or reading a story to the children. Room parents coordinate volunteers and support the classroom teacher during special events.
Are meals provided at Pineview?
We cater our meals including morning snack, lunch and afternoon snacks. Parents have the option of purchasing catered meals or providing meals and beverages for their children.
