WE LOVE OUR STUDENT'S FAMILIES

Moonbow's partnership between our families, teachers, and administration is vital to the success of our children. For this reason, we offer numerous opportunities for parent involvement in our school. We encourage our parents to volunteer in our classrooms during special art projects, storytime, or science experiments. We also have a very active Parent Teacher Committee. This committee organizes many school wide events throughout the year such as a family fall event, winter literacy evening, spring fun fair and additional community service projects. Volunteering in the classrooms or through the Parent Teacher Committee are excellent ways to become involved in your child’s early education.

MOONBOW FOLLOWS AN ELEMENTARY SCHOOL CALENDAR

For this reason, children are placed into an age-appropriate classroom for the entire school year. To determine your child’s classroom placement, please refer to the classes tab on this website. If you need clarification regarding the appropriate classroom placement, please contact the school office.

MOONBOW OFFERS  NUTRITIOUS SNACKS

Moonbow offers a nutritious snack for both morning and afternoon preschool sessions. All of our snacks are peanut-free and encourage healthy eating habits. Some examples of the snacks that we offer include fruits, graham crackers, goldfish, cheese, or Cheerios. We also provide filtered water for the children to drink throughout the day. Our families will receive a copy of the snack schedule in their classroom newsletter each week. At Moonbow we utilize snack time as an opportunity to promote manners and nutrition for our young children.

MOONBOW  IS A PEANUT/TREE NUT-FREE FACILITY

Recognizing the possibility of problems resulting from allergies, Moonbow is a peanut/tree nut-free facility. No food containing any nut product or processed in a plant that also processes nuts is allowed into the building. Every product brought into the school must contain a clearly visible ingredient list and be examined at the Principal’s office prior to entering the classroom area. In addition, children and classroom visitors are required to wash their hands upon entering the classroom at the start of each session to eliminate any food residue. In accordance with our peanut free policy, we provide an approved list of special treats if you choose to bring in a classroom snack for an event or birthday party.

WE PROVIDE A SAFE AND SECURE ENVIRONMENT FOR EVERY CHILD

At Moonbow, we provide a safe and secure environment for every child attending our school. We have gone to great lengths to install a state-of-the-art security system throughout the campus. Our proprietary student pickup-drop-off technology is unprecedented in the industry. We know that we have succeeded in developing one of the most secure early learning facilities in the country.

THE BROADER THE EXPERIENCES OF THE CHILD, THE GREATER THE POTENTIAL TO LEARN

Moonbow believes that the broader the experiences of the child, the greater the potential to learn. For this reason, we offer enrichment activities for all of our students. The Discovery Program at Moonbow offers enrichment classes in Spanish, music and movement, creative expression, and library. Our Discovery Room teacher values the inquisitive nature of young children and immerses them in a classroom where they are free to paint with Picasso or create beautiful music alongside Mozart.

MOST LEAD TEACHERS CURRENTLY HOLD A DEGREE

The teachers at Moonbow consist of a team of professional, experienced educators dedicated to providing quality early childhood education. Most lead teachers currently hold a degree in an education-related field and have a wide array of talents to share in the classroom. Staff qualifications are validated through an extensive interviewing process, detailed background and reference checks, and maintained through continuing education classes. Moonbow also has an onsite curriculum coordinator who collaborates with the classroom teachers on an ongoing basis. In addition, our staff undergoes CPR and first-aid training provided by the Red Cross annually.
