Everything you need, in one place

Children are enrolled on a first come, first serve basis. Siblings of children previously enrolled may enroll one week prior to open enrollment. A child is not enrolled until the enrollment forms are returned with the supply fee. Parents must provide a signed notice of health from the child’s pediatrician within 12 months of enrollment.

School Hours: Monday–Friday, 9:00 AM–2:55 PM. Our school year runs September through May, following the FISD calendar. Drop-off: 9:00–9:30 AM (please arrive before 10:00 AM). Pick-up: 2:30–2:55 PM.

Children will only be released to parents or other adults authorized by parents. We must have a copy of the driver’s license on file for all authorized adults.

Tuition is due the first week of the month, via the Brightwheel app, cash, check, or money order. A late fee of $25.00 applies to tuition not collected by the first week of each month.

We follow the FISD school calendar for inclement weather closings and delays. For a 2-hour delay, we start at 10:00 AM.

Please dress your child in comfortable clothes that you don’t mind getting dirty. For safety, children must wear closed-toe shoes with a strap behind the ankle, like tennis shoes.

Backpack, lunch box, water bottle, an all-in-one nap mat (with pillow and blanket attached), and a change of clothes in a labeled Ziploc bag.

NewStart Preschool does not prepare food. Children bring a packed morning snack and lunch from home, plus a spill-proof water cup we refill throughout the day.

We partner with parents to have children potty trained by their 3rd birthday. Children must be potty trained before entering our 3’s and Pre-K classes.

All children must meet the immunization requirements of the Texas Department of State Health Services (DSHS) or provide a state-notarized exemption affidavit. Records must be kept current.

Our approach is positive, teaching self-control through redirection, praise, and encouragement. Corporal punishment or any harsh treatment is strictly prohibited, in line with DFPS minimum standards.

We use the Brightwheel app for daily updates. Monthly emails and a closed Facebook page share themes and upcoming events. Conferences can be scheduled anytime with your child’s teacher and the director.

Stay home. Your child must be fever-free for a full 24 hours without fever-reducing medication before returning.

May attend school if there is no fever and they feel well enough to participate.

Stay home. This could be a severe cold, flu, or something more serious. Return when the cough improves and they feel better.

Stay home. Symptom-free for 24 hours after the last episode (without medicine) and able to keep down two solid meals.

A minor sore throat is okay, but a severe one could be strep. Keep them home and contact a doctor; return 24 hours after starting antibiotics if it is strep.

Stay home. This is highly contagious. Your child needs a doctor’s permission to return.

See a doctor. A rash could be a sign of a contagious disease. Your child can return once cleared by a doctor.
