Commonly Asked Questions


Where can I pick up an application?
Applications are available from a receptionist in our church ministry center between the hours of 8:30am and 5pm.
 
What do I need to do in order to reserve a space for the 2013-2014 part time preschool?
We will begin taking applications starting March 1st.  You will need to complete and return the 1st two pages of the application along with a $30 registration fee (checks can be payable to VECC).  Spaces are filled on a first come, first serve basis.

How do I schedule a tour of the center?
You can contact Brandy Frias to schedule a tour. Tours typically take place during the morning between 9:30 and 11:00 am.

Do you accept part time enrollment in your full time, year round program?
No, we only accept children who need care all day, Monday through Friday.

Do you accept Title XX?
Yes, but you must be approved for full time hours and can verify that you currently receive benefits in order to enroll your child.

Do you have a waiting list for your center, and if so, how do I get onto the waiting list?
Yes, we do have a waiting list for some of our classrooms, but it is always a good rule to call and check on the wait list status.  To put your child on the wait list, we will need a completed application along with a $30 registration fee to hold a space. 

Is there a difference in your part time preschool and full time program offered for 3-5 year olds?
No, our full time program also offers the preschool component.  We offer our full time program for working families who need the care all day for their child.

What type of curriculum do you use?
In our infant and toddler rooms we use Creative Curriculum.  The teachers align their lesson plans with the Ohio Infant/Toddler Guidelines.  In our preschool rooms we use Creative Curriculum.  The teachers align their lesson plans with the Ohio Department of Education's Preschool Early Learning Content Standards.
