Are you equipped for children with special medical/health conditions?

Children with medical needs will be evaluated on a case by case basis. Admission will be determined by the Director and the Weekday Preschool Committee. All medical conditions must be disclosed on the registration form prior to enrollment.

Are you equipped for children with special needs?

Salem Baptist Preschool is not presently equipped or trained to accept students who are developmentally challenged outside of their chronological age level; therefore, children must be the developmental, chronological and cognitive age of the class they enter. All students who are receiving any developmental assistance must present all evaluations to the Director prior to entry or contact the Director concerning when evaluations will be available.

Do you operate on a particular school calendar?

With a few exceptions, we follow the Wake County Public School's traditional calendar.

What is your inclement weather policy?

If the Wake County School System closes school, the preschool will also close. If Wake County delays opening by either one or two hours, the preschool will open at 10:15 AM and dismiss at 12:45 PM. If Wake County delays opening by three hours, the preschool will be closed. Since we begin school in August and tuition is not charged until September, we have several build in inclement weather days as well as additional days as outlined in the Parent Handbook, so we will not make up missed days unless we exceed those allowed. If Wake County announces they will dismiss early due to approaching bad weather, we ask you to come for your child immediately because many of our staff will need to leave in order to pick up their own children. Please listen to the radio, TV, or check Wake County Public School decisions and announcements.

What is your ESL (English as a Second Language) policy?

Salem Baptist Preschool is blessed to be located in an area of great ethnic diversity. An ESL (English as a Second Language) student is by definition a child who does not understand or speak English, has not been exposed to English, or needs to learn English. For the safety, well-being, and best interest of all children, students enrolled in Salem Baptist Preschool must be able to communicate in English. Unlike public schools which receive state funding for ESL specialists, Salem Baptist Preschool is not equipped for, nor is able to serve students who are unable to communicate using the English language. Our intentions are not to exclude ESL children, but simply to make our environment safe for everyone; therefore, Salem Baptist Preschool reserves the right to deny or cancel enrollment to the school at any point in time if the child’s teacher, the preschool director, or the preschool governing board feel that the student cannot effectively communicate using the English language.

Do children have to be potty trained?

Children enrolled in the threes, fours, or TK classes must be potty trained and able to take care of their own bathroom needs. This means they must wear underwear to school and not diapers or pull-ups. If given parental permission and if needed, teachers can assist students.

Do you have a carpool for students?

Because our teachers wish to get to know parents on a personal level and to allow parents to meet each other, we do not have a carpool drop off or pick up. Parents bring their children to the classroom in the mornings and pick them up there at dismissal.

How secure is your campus?

Once preschool begins, outside doors are locked. For the safety of our children, specific details about how to enter the building during preschool hours and other lock down procedures will not be listed on the internet. Feel free to speak to the Director if you have additional questions.
