IMPORTANT THINGS TO CONSIDER

• Our preschool is for children ages 3, 4, and 5. All students must be fully able to use the toilet. 

• If your child attends a Full Day or Extended Day class, they must bring their own lunch to preschool each day. Snacks are provided by Butterfly Hill each day.

• We have a forest school program that children may have the opportunity to participate in throughout the year depending on the developmental level of the child and their preschool schedule. Our forest school program busses children with two teachers out to our various county parks to explore and play outdoors for the morning. You will receive more information about our forest school program when your child’s session begins.

• We follow Alexandria School District for all weather related closings during the school year. 

• For the most part we follow the Alexandria School District calendar which includes, on average, one day of teacher inservice per month (no children present) and other holidays and days off. During our summer session we are typically closed a total of 3-4 days for July 4th and relevant continuing education opportunities for our teachers.

• When Alexandria School District publishes their calendar for the 2024-2025 school year, we will then be able to post our full calendar to our website, as well.

• Butterfly Hill Nature Preschool is not in session May 28-31, 2024 and August 26-30, 2024. During these dates that we do not have a session, our teachers are preparing for the upcoming session, as well as participating in license required training. 

• Please see below for important dates to mark on your calendar.
