General FAQ
Is Kids Express Learning Center a daycare or a preschool?
Kids Express Learning Center is an early childhood center where college degreed teachers set clearly defined goals for children's learning. Developmentally appropriate activities enhance each child's chance of maturing in social, emotional, physical and cognitive realms. Each week, teachers create goal directed lesson plans. The State of Wisconsin’s Early Learning Standards provide the framework for these plans.
Why should I select Kids Express Learning Center rather than another school in the area?
Kids Express Learning Center provides a unique, high quality environment for children's exploration and experimentation. They march "up the music trail" for their Kids @ Keyboards lessons in our Little Cabin in the Woods to learn music, they pick fruit in the orchard and vineyard, plant and harvest herbs in Prairie View Farm’s Children’s Garden. Children enjoy Nature/Science and Physical Education classes taught each week by specialists. Teachers with degrees in education plan and implement rich, developmentally appropriate activities in language arts, math, science, and other traditional early childhood areas. Great teachers, working in our peaceful, rural setting, provide valuable and memorable experiences for young children.
Does my child have to be potty trained to be accepted at Kids Express Learning Center?
Children need to be completely potty trained in order to be accepted into our half-day preschool classroom at Kids Express Learning Center. Younger preschool classrooms for full day children will continue to work on potty training initiated by parents.
The potty training 'rule' excludes the nursery program and two year old rooms, obviously. Infants and toddlers are an exception to the rule!
Where do I find a calendar of events or my child's school year schedule?
Each classroom's calendar of events is posted inside the password protected classroom site of our website. You will be able to visit this area of our website only if your child is currently attending Kids Express Learning Center.
How will I know if Kids Express Learning Center is closed due to inclement weather?
Kids Express Learning Center follows Verona Area Public Schools in regard to all school delays, early dismissals or closings due to severe weather. Local television and radio stations carry updates on area school closings during any kind of inclement weather.
