Prospective Students

Please be aware that teacher assignments are based upon enrollment. Parents may request a particular teacher, but no guarantee can be made. The director will balance the classes by size, gender, and school readiness.

It is best to talk to your child about getting ready for school in general terms. Please do not reference a teacher’s name, a particular classroom or specific friends that you assume will be in the class. Children should be class age by August 31 of that school year.

• Twos must be able to sit in a chair independently, remain sitting at mealtimes and recognize adults as authority figures. The toilet training process begins at home during this year.
• Threes must be able to stand and walk in a line, wash hands with soap, remain sitting at circle time, and keep manipulatives on trays. The student is toilet trained but might need occasional assistance.
• Fours and Fives must be completely toilet trained, walk up and down the hallway to the restrooms independently, and participate in circle time.

Children are expected to be enrolled for an entire school year. If you should move out of Guilford County or need to withdraw for any other reason, you must notify the school in writing four weeks prior to the withdrawal date. Tuition accrues regardless of attendance. If a tuition refund is due, it will be mailed to your new address. Registration fees are not refundable.

This list will begin as soon as a class becomes full. Priority on the list is as follows:

• Church members have priority over non-members who were not enrolled.
• ​Siblings of children who have attended St. Francis Day School.
• The Director may use discretion in balancing the class.
