Parent Information Center

At La Escuelita Bilingual School, we pride ourselves on open communication with parents. By utilizing the Parent Info Center, parents can get an inside look into the day to day activities of their child. Parents will have access to daycare logs with information concerning minor injuries or illnesses, staff names, emergency phone numbers, as well as evacuation procedures. In addition to this, daily class schedules and lesson plans will also be made available to view.

Our Parent Info Center is here to provide you with the answers to any of the questions you may have in regard to your child’s education at La Escuelita Bilingual School. Whether your child is an infant or preschool age, we are here to supply you with information in regard to parking, visitors, transportation, items that must be provided by parents, and much more. The following information has been compiled for your convenience. Each classroom has a notebook with all our school policies and procedures. The office has correction plans mandated by the Division of Child Care Policy as well as our Health Safety Compliance Agreement.

Our Policy on Infants and Young Children

Infants are on an “on demand” feeding and napping schedule. Infants are held for bottle feeding. All meals or bottles brought by parents must be labeled and dated. All dishes and bottles are sanitized according to DSHS standards. We will give infants semi-solid foods provided by parents if they are between 4 and 10 months old.

Parents provide disposable diapers. They must have at least seven diapers on a daily basis. Pull-ups or training pants will be accepted in the 2-year-old toddler classroom.

Parents provide a blanket and extra clothing. Blankets need to be washed by parents each week. Items need to be the appropriate size to fit in personal cubbies.

Mothers who wish to breastfeed can do so in the infant classroom.

We will introduce the use of cups for drinking by 12 months old. Parents and staff can design a schedule for phasing out bottle feeding as early as 12 months.

Weekly Show and Tell Opportunities

Children who are 3 years and older will have show and tell on Fridays. This allows them to bring special items from home to share with their friends. We would appreciate it if children brought items that are relevant to the theme they are focusing on for the month. Play guns, action figures or military-type toys will not be allowed at La Escuelita Bilingual School. Those items will be placed in the office to be sent home. We provide sufficient materials in our center that are age appropriate, bias free and that foster positive social interaction. We appreciate children keeping their personal toys at home.

Parents provide their own transportation to and from La Escuelita Bilingual School.
