School Policies
Health & Wellness Policy
The health and safety of our students will always be of highest priority. In order to promote health and wellness in all children, we operate under a well-child environment. If your child has a fever, per our policy, you are required to keep your child home until they are fever free for a minimum of 24 hours. Our complete, detailed Health and Wellness Policy may be found in the Parent Handbook.
Lunch
Creative Minds Christian Preschool does not currently provide a lunch program for students. Students will need to bring their own lunches from home and we do ask that parents provide proper lunches and utensils for their child each day. However, in-class snacks will be provided twice a day. Parents will be notified in advance of special occasions during which special food items may be provided, such as holiday parties.
Immunizations & Vaccines
When enrolling or re-enrolling a student at Creative Minds Christian Preschool, Proof of Immunizations and Proof of Physical will be needed to complete the admission process. However, due to religious or medical reasons, not every parent/guardian enforces this. Therefore, please see the options below for forms that must be on file.
A Medical Exemption Statement, per G.S. 130A-156, may be granted if a student cannot be fully immunized due to medical reasons. In this case, the student's physician must complete Form DHHS-3987, which states in writing the reasons for exemption based on valid clinical reasoning or evidence.
A Religious Exemption From Immunization, per G.S. 130A-157, may be issued if immunizations are in conflict with the religious tenets and practices of the student's parent/guardian. This exemption is a written statement of the religious objection to immunization by the parent or person requesting the exemption. The statement must include the name and date of birth of the person for whom the exemption is being requested based on established religious beliefs or practices only.
Safety & Security
The safety and security of each person is our highest priority here at Creative Minds Christian Preschool. On our campus building, in addition to full property lighting and surveillance cameras, we also have a secure entry at every level, a fully enclosed playground, on-site supervision, and a secure check-in system for all students and adults entering the building. No child will ever be left unattended at any time, during school hours.
Classrooms
Each classroom has been designed with great detail, from colors to traffic flow, the layout of centers and tables, and much more. Each well-lit classroom fosters an environment of learning for every child. Our class settings will assist our teachers, allowing them to have adequate time with each child during times of individual learning.
