Enrollment at Jan's Place is ongoing as long as space is available.

Our teacher-to-student ratio is 1:6.

Unfortunately, Jan's Place is not providing transportation to or from our center at this time.

Unfortunately, Jan's Place is not offering financial assistance at this time.

Jan's Place Preschool and Enrichment Center provides drop off programs and has an ‘open door’ policy in which families are always welcome to visit or observe the class.

To avoid disruption to the other students, please limit visits to 15-20 minutes. It is often helpful to let the teachers know when you are coming and who you will be bringing (baby siblings, grandparents, etc).

We also offer many opportunites each month for families to be involved in their child's education at school.

Children enrolled in Jan's Place Preschool must be potty trained* by the first day of school. 

We understand that accidents may still happen. These accidents are unusual incidents that occur infrequently. We have a three accident policy in place. If a child has three or more accidents in a month’s time we will reevaluate his or her placement in preschool.

Potty Trained children can:

• Communicate to teachers that they need to use the restroom.
• Independently use the bathroom facility without assistance.
• Wear cloth underwear. No Pull-ups or diapers are allowed.

*If your child has a medical condition or a special need we are happy to work with you regarding this policy.

In Accordance with Massachusetts EEC Regulations; “Programs where children attend for more than four hours provide a time period for rest, quiet activity, or sleep of not less than forty-five minutes”.

Rest provides students with the chance to physically and emotionally unwind. In addition, studies show that classroom naps can enhance memory and support learning in preschool children. A lot is happening in the brain of a slumbering preschooler, including processing and storing memories that are the foundation for learning.

Children who no longer take naps will be provided with quiet activites such as reading picture books, listening to classical music, or coloring.

Food allergies are severe and exposure in any form (skin contact or ingestion) to these substances could result in anaphylaxis, a potentially fatal condition that requires immediate medical attention. 

For the safety of the students, Jan’s Place Preschool does not provide morning or afternoon snacks. 

Families are responsible for packing snacks and lunches for their 

child that do not contain Peanuts and Tree Nuts (such as peanut butter and Nutella).

We ask families to be conscientious in the selection of snacks and lunches that your child brings to class in an attempt to limit the chances of children being exposed to peanuts and tree nuts. 

We greatly appreciate your efforts to keep school as safe as possible for all students and staff.
