Forest Preschool Support Questions:

What, if any, experience does your child have with non-family caregivers or structured programs (for example child care, preschool, camps)? *

Has your child had any prior special needs? Has your child ever had an IFSP (Individual Family Service Plan) or IEP (Individual Education Plan)? If so, would you be willing to share those documents with us so we can better understand how to support your child? How do you think the issues your child was assessed for might impact them at Forest Preschool? *

How is your child doing with potty training? Are you confident they will need only minimal assistance by the time school starts? What kind of assistance do you anticipate they might need, especially given we are outdoors and the child will often be wearing a lot of layers of clothing? *

Do you know if your child already knows any other Ithaca Forest Preschool students or instructors? (If yes, who?) *

Is there anything else you want to tell us about your child’s needs while with us? How can we best support your child’s transition to Forest Preschool? *
