Providing a Supportive & Engaging First School Experience

Our Program

The principal purpose of the Josiah Hayden Pre-School is to provide a supportive, developmentally appropriate, and

positive first school experience for every child.

We believe that play is essential to whole-child development. Through imagination, creativity, and exploration, children

build confidence, express themselves, and develop meaningful connections in a safe and encouraging space.

Our focus is on nurturing the whole child—emotionally, cognitively, socially, physically, and creatively—through a balance of structured learning, free choice, and play.

Curriculum

• Play-Based Learning: Encourages creativity, imagination, and independence
• Self-Help Skills: Supported by staff to build confidence and autonomy

How the Registration Process Works

Step 1 – Submit a Request for Days

Families must first submit a Request for Days through our online registration system.

If you are new to the system, you will need to create a household account and enter parent/guardian and child information.

Submitting the Request for Days secures your place in line.

You will receive an email receipt with a PDF attachment that contains a link to our registration form.

Step 2 – Complete the Registration Form

The receipt attachment includes a link to the required Pre-School Registration Form.

The form must be completed for your request to be reviewed.

Important:
Your position in line is based on the time your Request for Days was submitted, not when the registration form is completed.

Step 3 – Request Review and Enrollment Confirmation

The Pre-School Director will review all requests and follow up with families regarding the status of their requested schedule.

Submitting a Request for Days does not guarantee enrollment, as placement depends on availability.

Families will be contacted once placement decisions have been made.
