Timely pick-ups are expected at the end of the preschool day. The second late pickup will result in a warning. Any following late pickups will result in a fee of $1/minute for every minute late.

Monthly newsletters are mailed from the Director. These newsletters will have important information like important reminders, special events, and upcoming days off school.  Please email preschool@pittsboroumc.org with any questions.
