My daughter is loving the Full-Day Preschool Program |
We first came to Lansing looking for a morning nursery when my son was 2 and I was on mat leave with our daughter. I was attracted by the bright, child-friendly building, the small size of the school and the flexible programming. I was reassured by the fact that I could be part of the school through duty days and see my children in their first “school” experience. |
Common Preschool Program FAQs
1. Nutrition
Daily snacks and hot lunch, including how much your child ate, are shared with parents daily through our Lillio app.
The weekly meal schedule is also posted on the board in the Parents Room, for those who want to know the week's menu in advance. Lansing is able to accommodate most allergy and food restrictions that your child may have.
2. Nap or Quiet Time
Each child in the Full-Day Preschool program is given a labelled individual cot and bottom sheet should they wish to take a nap. Many children still need a soothing item to sleep, so parents can provide either a soft comfort object or small blanket.
Mats and sheets are cleaned weekly.
Children who are not sleeping and become restless, can engage in quiet time activities, such as reading or doing a puzzle..
3. Joining age
Children must be 2.5 years old by September 1 to join this program.
4. Communication with Parents
Lansing's Programs use the parent App call Lillio. Educators will create daily reports that summarize what children did throughout the day, including activities, meals, naps, and general observations. Parents receive these reports in real-time, which helps keep them informed about their child's day. It also serves as a communication tool so that important information can be shared easily, and questions can be answered promptly.
