We operate during the school year; September through May, and in the summer; June and July.  During the school year children may attend Monday and Wednesday, Tuesday and Thursday, or Monday through Thursday. Our hours are 9:00 a.m. to 2:30 p.m. 

ARRIVAL AND DISMISSAL

Drop off will take place in our lobby area by the red desk. A teacher will meet you at the main doors and will walk your child to his/her classroom.

We also ask that you not talk on your cell phone while dropping off or picking up your child.  Often the teachers need to communicate with you at these times and this is difficult if you are talking on your phone.

Drop off time is 9:00 a.m. and class starts immediately. The main doors will be locked at 9:15 a.m.

Many of the classes have free play or center time at the beginning of the day and while it seems like this time can be easily skipped, it is very important for children to interact with each other.  They learn and practice social and communication skills that cannot be taught.

Late arrivals also can cause distractions when the class has already begun and children can feel left out having missed activities.

In the afternoons, our doors will be unlocked at 2:00 p.m. Pick-up time is between 2:00 and 2:30 p.m.  Unless necessary, please do not pick up children early as this will interfere with classroom activities. If early pick up is necessary, please call in advance.

RELEASE OF CHILDREN 

No child will be released to anyone other than a parent/guardian or persons listed on your child’s information sheet unless the Director is contacted by a parent/guardian. 

Picture identification will be requested if anyone other than the parent/guardian picks up the child.  I.D. will be requested from all persons picking up children until the teacher/sub is familiar with them.  If the scheduled pick-up person for a particular day changes please call the NSCP office.

ABSENCES
Please inform the office at 817-596-9808 if your child is going to be absent for the day.  We occasionally have drop-ins and it is important that we know how many (if any) spots we have available. 

PARTY SCHEDULE

All parties will be held in the classroom and will be for children only.  Parents are asked not to attend since this often causes disruption and distraction for the kids. 

All food brought for a classroom party must be store bought with ingredient labels attached.  This is to protect those that have food allergies.

INCLEMENT WEATHER

We follow Weatherford ISD for most school closures, holidays and late openings. 

If bad weather alters our school schedule, a Procare message will be sent. Also check the North Side Christian Preschool Facebook page for updated information.

Children will go outside to play if the temperature and wind chill are above 50 degrees so please dress your child accordingly during colder months.
