Registration for Fall 2025 now open!!!

Click the apple thought bubble on the left to get a registration packet; or stop by the school during normal operating hours to pick one up! You can also call the school and schedule a tour! 509-328-2002

A Meet Your Teacher/welcome to school visit
will be held on Thursday August 28, 2025 for you and 
your child.  This allows your child to meet their teacher, 
perhaps make some friends and visit the school with you 
before attending for the first time.  
The visit usually takes about 30 minutes. Registered families should have gotten a welcome letter detailing all this in the mail. If you are registered and did not receive one, PLEASE contact Mrs. Briggs through the school. 509-328-2002 or by email contact@nlcpreschool.com. Thank you.

A note about snacks:

Snack Time: Children will have snack time at 10:25 each morning.  Each child provides their own snack and water bottle. It helps with “picky eaters” and allergy concerns, as well as for any families with specific dietary needs or preferences. 

PLEASE, label your child’s water bottles and snack bags, with their first and last names! They get carried room to room and are often accidently left behind and then our staff has trouble getting them back to the right child. We also have several that are similar and that can create confusion.

Even though each child is bringing their own snack, please, do not bring snacks containing any kind of NUT/PEANUT. As careful as we are, the oils can still be spread around and get to any child who may have an allergy. This includes, almond oil, (watch the fruit snacks) and peanut oil.  And some cheese crackers have peanut flour in them! Please read ingredient labels! Snacks with labels that say “may contain” or “processed in a facility” are ok.

Snacks should be simple and nutritious.

We suggest:

Vegetable/Fruit (slices), Granola Bars (nut free), Muffins or Sweet breads (watch for nuts & toppings),Crackers, Fruit rollups, Cheese, Fruit Snacks, applesauce cups, yogurt push-ups (like go-gurt). Please: No sweet cookies, cake, candy, or ice cream except for celebrating birthdays. 

(stay tuned for updates!)
