Most general questions can be answered in the PARENT HANDBOOK as well.

Where can I read more information about the nut ban? Click on our NUT BAN memo.

I’m running out of snack/lunch ideas. What are some suggestions? Click on our link to COOL SCHOOL FUEL!
How much do I owe again? There is a tuition rate sheet posted outside the preschool office above the tuition file folder. Tuition rates are also in the Parent Handbook and on the TUITION & FEES page
What day is tuition due? Tuition is due the first day your child attends preschool each month. Late fees accrue after the 2nd Monday of the month.
Where can I park? Our downtown location can create parking challenges. Please check out our HELPFUL HINTS FOR PARKING for more information.
Does FUMP have public transportation access? Yes, we have a bus stop at the corner! Check out the METRORAPID page for more details.
What if I’m running late at pick up time? Please call the preschool and let us know, if possible. You may want to call and see if another parent from preschool would be willing to watch your child for a few minutes until you arrive. (That person needs to be authorized to pick up your child.) If you are unable to find anyone when you arrive, you will pick up your child from the preschool office. Please know that there is a charge of $1 per minute after 2pm that you are late. Please pay the teacher directly and in cash.
Where can I get a lunch kit or school tee shirt? The lunch kits and school shirts are available in the preschool office. Our lunch kits are FUMP teacher-recommended for ease of serving! Check out our LUNCH KIT FLIER for more details. They are $5 individually or $17 for the set. School shirts are $12.

What’s the best way to provide feedback to the preschool? Preschool has a COMMENDATION/CONCERN FORM to formally allow parents to share any commendations or concerns they may have. Parents have the option to make their commendations or concerns confidential or can have them shared with the individuals involved.
What are the “All School Picnics?” Weather permitting, all of the classes (except the infant class occasionally) gather on the capitol grounds for the picnic. You are welcome to bring your own lunch, a blanket and enjoy some fellowship with other FUMP families. Once you pick up your child(ren) from the classroom and sign out, he/she is your responsibility.
What is the Infant Safe Sleep Form? Child care licensing has specified many safe sleep practices to be used in our infant classroom. Parents and staff are required to have a signed form for their children. INFANT SAFE SLEEP
