Hello Preschool Families,
Our prayer is that this letter finds you and your family healthy, safe, and enjoying your summer.
After many prayers and discussions, the Little Treasures Preschool Board has decided to delay the start of our school year until January 4, 2021. This decision was based on the following concerns:
1. The continued rise in confirmed virus cases in Benton and Franklin counties.
2. Concern for the health and safety of our students and teachers.
3. The area school districts decision to begin school with online learning. This model is not conducive for a preschool setting where the majority of the learning requires in classroom experiences.
4. Reduced tuition income due to state mandate of smaller class size.
5. The added cost of hours spent disinfecting and the supplies needed to do so.
We appreciate your understanding as we navigate these unknown times. We also understand that this delay may not work for every family. We would appreciate you letting us know your plans regarding the 2020-2021 school year. The preschool can be reached via email at [email protected].
A letter will be sent to families regarding the January 4, 2021 start time in late 2020.
We ask that you keep Little Treasures Preschool staff and board members in your prayers in the coming weeks.
Blessings,
Little Treasures Preschool Board
