At Mimosa Lane our mission statement is to provide an atmosphere of community where parents and teachers partner together to enable children to find a wholeness and completeness in life through Christ as they experience quality Christian care and education in a safe, happy learning environment.

• To provide children with age appropriate educational experiences.
• To provide children with an early foundation in the Word of God.
• To provide a safe, secure and loving environment that makes each child feel special.
• To build children's self-esteem by providing activities that are age appropriate and in which they can be successful.
• To stimulate each child's creativity and self-expression.

Tuesday's and Thursday's
9:00am - 2:00pm
August - May
(We follow the same schedule as the M.I.S.D)

We are currently enrolling for 2007-2008.  We accept children ages 4 months – 5 years (Pre-Kindergarten).   To enroll simply visit or call the Playschool office during normal business hours.  And we will check on an available spot for your child.  If a spot is not available, we will add you to our waiting list and update you regularly on your status.
If a spot is available, you will fill out our brief enrollment form and pay $50.00 non-refundable, registration fee.  This holds your child’s spot until the admission packet is completed and accepted.   Admission packets are given when your child is registered if the school year has already begun, or mailed to your home the first week in August if the school year has not started yet.

Your admission packet contains several pertinent items that have to be completed prior to accepting your child into the Playschool program. The items have to be received and reviewed for completion prior to admitting your child.  Those items include a current copy of your child’s shot records and  proper identification for all persons authorized to pick your child up. The packet also contains materials that you will need as a Playschool parent, for example, our school calendar and your monthly statement as well. 

Tuition Rates for 2007-2008
Babies – Two’s:            $125.00/month
Three’s – Four’s:            $145.00/month

Supply fee of $50.00 due twice a year at the beginning of each semester per child.

At Playschool we have several special events and opportunities for parents to be involved and join us.  Some examples of these events include Playdate with Dad, Mommy & Me,Grandparents Day, Farmer Day, and Friendship Day just to name a few.
 
And because your child’s safety is our number one priority, we do not take the children off campus for field trips.  Instead, we bring the fun to them!  They experience visits from community helpers,
Petting zoos and several other special visitors.

Should you have anymore questions regarding the Playschool program or registration procedures, you can contact Kasha O’Neill, Administrative Assistant, or Sandi Collins, Financial Secretary.  They will each be in the Playschool Office until May 22nd, at which time they are off for Summer Vacation.  They will, however, regularly check office emails and voicemails, so feel free to leave messages throughout the summer.

There are a few “tidbits” of information you need to know:

1. In order to remain “fair” during our registration process, we do not accept Teacher Requests or “best friends” requests.  All children will be placed in classes according to their date of birth and relating to the September 1st cutoff practiced by MISD.
2. Our younger preschool children are grouped no more than 2-3 months apart and we work hard to balance our older Preschool classes per age group.  For example: Younger 2’s vs.Older 2’s, Older 4’s, etc.
3. Playschool tuition, Registration and Supply Fees are compiled by researching comparable preschool programs in our area and their fees of the current year. 
4. Parents are welcome to attend all Playschool events and we welcome Parent Participation in our classrooms.
5. We are currently looking for permanent substitute teachers for next school year and invite parents who may not work a “fulltime” job to apply in the Playschool office.  This is a paid position in which a pay check is received twice a month for days worked.  A thorough background check is completed on all individuals serving in and out of our classrooms.  They are renewed annually for returning staff members.
6. We also have positions available for Lead Teachers and Teaching Assistants for the 2007-2008 school year and will accept applications until all positions are filled.  If interested, please bring resume to Playschool office before June 4th or fax to Cassey Chapman at 972.285.6043 there after.  (Experience required)
