Frequently Asked Questions

|
- Why choose Sunset?
Because our experienced and educated staff is dedicated to getting your child ready for their educational journey using fun and innovative techniques. The preschool years are so important to a child's development. Confidence and self esteem are key components in a child's education and at Sunset, we value each child's uniqueness and individual accomplishments. Come in to visit and you will see why we are confident that your child will flourish at Sunset. We communicate frequently with our local kindergarten teachers to make sure our children are entering kindergarten with the skills they need to succeed.
- Are the teachers certified?
Every teacher at Sunset has either a degree in early childhood, or they are certified in the early childhood field and keep their certifications up to date.
- What are your teacher-to-student ratios?
We are proud to provide the children of Sunset with a remarkable student/teacher ratio! Our two year old class is 8:2. Our three year old classes are 12:2 and our four year old classes are 16:2. Every class has a teacher and an aide, along with the assistance of the director during center time and circle time. Smaller ratios are important in a learning environment to support each child's personal strengths and foster self-esteem.
- Can I visit the school during school hours?
Yes, we strongly encourage and welcome you to come see the environment that we've created and observe the children as they work and play. You are welcome to stop in at any time.

Monday through Friday 9:00 to 3:00 p.m. We follow the Hendrick Hudson School District calendar.

No, however, we will help you with this process by encouraging and supporting their training.
