at various times during the week. We have many class choices in the

the 1950's. When Fairfax County began to offer kindergarten, Wesley
became a preschool.
What type of clothing should my child wear?
Since classes at preschool involve painting,
lively activity and on-the-floor play, clothing should be durable,
casual and washable. Belts and difficult clothing should be avoided
for ease at bathroom. Rubber soled shoes and closed toe shoes are
best for the playground.

Transportation to and from school is the sole
responsibility of parents.

Wesley Preschool provides a nutritious snack
everyday. Parents are welcome to provide one on a special occasion
after making arrangements with the classroom teacher. Wesley
Preschool strives to be peanut/nut free.
Does the preschool provide field trips?
In-house field trips (programs presented at school)
are scheduled throughout the school year. They may include
storytellers, nature presentations, musicians, puppeteers, and
community helpers. Walking field trips may be taken by older classes
in an area within one mile of the preschool. All field trips are
planned to supplement classroom activities.
Must my child be toilet trained?
Children do not need to be toilet trained in the two
year old class.
