Absolutely! We welcome families to come see all that we have to offer.
During the preschool year, tours are available any day between 9:15 and 11:00 a.m. (so as not to interfere with car line). Appointments may be scheduled by calling the school office at 912-897-7568 or by emailing wipp450@gmail.com. Walk-ins are also welcome during these hours; however, we recommend calling ahead in case of a school event or closure.
When visiting, please park in the back lot next to the playground and enter through the closest door. All vehicles must exit the back lot by 11:30 a.m. so that car line may form.
During the summer months, we are still happy to offer tours! Please contact our director, Ashley Cetti, at wipp450@gmail.com to schedule a visit.

No. We are a preschool that loosely follows a traditional school-year calendar. We observe breaks around major holidays and do not offer summer classes or afternoon aftercare.

For each class (2s, 3s, and Pre-K 4s), children must reach the appropriate age by September 30. Parents should be aware that children with birthdays after September 1 may need to repeat a year of preschool at some point, as local schools typically require children to turn five by September 1 in order to enroll in kindergarten.

Children must be fully potty trained to enroll in the 3- and 4-year-old classes.
For our program, “potty trained” means a child is:
• Able to communicate the need to use the bathroom
• Able to reasonably manage dressing and hygiene routines
• No longer wearing pull-upsWhile an occasional accident is normal for preschool-aged children, frequent accidents indicate that a child is not yet fully potty trained. Any child who is not fully potty trained by the first day of school will need to remain home for one week to complete training before returning to class.
If your child has a medical or developmental concern related to potty training, please speak with the director.

Snack time is typically a communal experience, helping to build community through shared food, conversation, and the exchange of opinions, likes, and dislikes. Snacks are historically provided by the school and supplemented by parent volunteers.
Individual food allergies are handled on a case-by-case basis depending on severity. As a result, some classes may have specific classroom food restrictions while others may not.
