Mission Statement

PPS Early Learning and Care is dedicated to providing a nurturing, inclusive and caring environment aligned with the education mission of Potterville Public Schools, where children and families learn to grow together as a community.

Program Philosophy

Our belief is that children are unique and learn through a variety of ways such as directly interacting with the environment and that their social, emotional, physical, and intellectual growth occurs in developmental stages that are sequential and continuous.

Program Goals:

  • Provide a safe, stimulating atmosphere with opportunities for growth and development in physical, emotional and intellectual areas.

  • Encourage self-esteem and positive self-concept through the use of Capturing Kids' Hearts and Conscious Discipline.

  • Assist children in facing and solving problems as they arise.

  • Families will be provided with a variety of home learning extensions related to learning and activities occurring in the classroom.

Enrollment:

Every family must complete the registration process before attending. The admission process consists of:

  1. Parents complete the pre-registration application.

  2. Meeting with the Director and/or a representative and tour the facility. This includes a discussion of program options that best meet the child's educational needs.

  3. Completion of all registration forms. Prior to the child's first day, we must have a copy of your child's immunizations and the paperwork from the enrollment packet which includes emergency information and immunizations.

  4. Payment of the $50 non-refundable registration fee.

Section and placement will be based on a variety of factors with children being placed in the most appropriate classroom. When a spot becomes available, children will first be selected based on age and match to the classroom. A waiting list will be established as needed. 

Enrollment priority will be as follows:

  • Current enrolled families

  • In-District residents (for early childhood)

  • PPS Employees

  • Full-time enrollment

Preschool children must be three years old by December 1st and potty trained.*
