General Information and F.A.Q.'s
School Hours:
Attendance:First Family Academy will require all preschool children from three to five years of age to have a set schedule. Our primary responsibility focus is to provide an education for your child. It is important that your child attend on the scheduled days so that the teachers may properly prepare for the needs of his/her classroom. Furthermore, research has shown that consistency in a child's schedule is a key component in a child's educational path. Holidays:First Family will be closed on the following Holidays
Sickness:Health and safety are a priority for First Family Academy. In an effort to minimize the spread of illness, the academy will abide by the Kansas Department of Health and Environment standards for exclusion. All parents will have to sign an acknowledgement of this policy at the time of enrollment. A child should be symptom free for 24 hours of any contagious illness such as rashes, fever, vomiting, dysentery, or pink eye. Should you feel that your child is not contagious with one or more of these symptoms; the parent will be asked to get a doctor’s note stating that the child is not contagious and may return to school.

While in attendance, your child will have access to healthy breakfasts, lunches, and snacks. Monthly menus will be posted in your child’s classroom and made available to the parents for take-home use. While nutrition is very important to each child, as educators, we have also made it a part of the curriculum so as to create healthy eating habits in each child.
