Daycare
All instruction is in English.
Co-operative play is something we truly value. But it has to be learned, as well as appeal to our social instincts… The best way to achieve this is by copying what we see. Therefore, our Daycare and Kindergarten teachers and educators model play and co-operate whenever they can, so the child get a sense of what it looks like. Taking turns, acting gently, speaking in a kind manner: all of these are examples of positive reinforcement. Soon enough, the play will start to diffuse social tension as a result.
We begin with short separation times, as children need to have faith that their caregiver will return. This builds trust and mutual understanding. Once these brief periods become the norm, we extend the length of separation. A comforter from home often helps, something like a blanket, toy or teddy bear.
It’s normal for a child to cry during their initial state at Daycare or Kindergarten of semi-independence. Please remember that it’s a natural, healthy response to the love you’ve given them so far.
You may drop your child off at the Daycare, located along Ndagire Road opposite Bethany High School or at the Kindergarten located along Kireka-Kamuli Road.

Preschool
Parents can access information instantly about their child(ren)’s classroom activities, schedule, and plans through our Skole Portal, which also provides access to family contact information and is where parents can update emergency contacts or the list of individuals allowed to pick up their child(ren). In addition to class specific information, all school events, notices, weekly newsletters from classroom teachers, monthly newsletters from specials teachers, Parent Association news and minutes, directory listings, school calendars, and photos live on the secure Parent Portal. In the higher grades at the Elementary School, parents can also see students’ homework assignments and test dates on the Parent Portal. In addition, we host numerous informational events for families throughout the year and send out Schoolroom Notes, our bi-annual all school newsletter, and our annual report.
Kindergarden
Yes. Our Kindergarten and Daycare are located at different campuses. They are about 400 meters away from each other.
Kindergarten children have their own play area. We ensure that older children play separately from the younger ones. All three kindergarten classes have lunch and breaks together.
Please check our website on the “About” menu and click “Teachers”, here you will see/get to know your child’s teacher. We encourage parents to get time to interact with the teacher and inquire about your child’s in class of off class activities.
You may drop off your child at the Daycare or Kindergarten.
Flex Care
Our locations have both different hours and different services, but all have flex care for the ease of parents! Skole: Skole: Los Angeles currently do not offer traditional full time care. Skole: Los Angeles’ part time is 20 hours a week. Skole: NE Portland has traditional full time and flex care services available. We do not accept infants after 6pm at our Oregon locations.
