What Our Community Is Saying

Success Stories

"Preschool Together was the perfect introduction to the school environment for my daughter when she was one and a half years old. The teachers were dynamic, engaging and welcoming. The weekly class provided the opportunity for our daughter to feel comfortable walking into school, saying hello to her teacher and classmates, joining circle time and learning how to play in a group. I am forever grateful to have joined the LPP community. After two sessions of Preschool Together we enrolled in the school program and are thrilled with our decision."
Gretchen Athas
LPP Parent, Family Learning Program & Two’s Class
"We have been part of the LPP family since our son was two. We are delighted by the dedication, commitment, and involvement we have received from the teachers and staff at LPP. From potty training, to socializing with friends, to the well-developed curriculum, we could not be happier with the educational style employed here. We witness, on a daily basis how the school is influencing our son to be a confident and compassionate person. He is clearly flourishing in this environment and is excited to go to school every single day. We simply couldn’t ask for more!"

Covid Terms

Someone considered to be a close contact of a positive case

Anyone who has spent 15+ minutes within 6-feet of someone who has tested positive, including the 48 hours prior to their positive test or onset of symptoms. (i.e. If someone tests positive on Friday, we consider Wednesday and Thursday contacts as close contacts). Due to the nature of preschool settings, all students in a classroom with a person who has tested positive is considered to be close contacts

We accept Rapid, PCR, and at-home antigen testing unless otherwise noted

A program designed to test close contacts/exposed students while they continue to attend school

Remaining at home after a known or highly likely exposure (i.e. international travel)

For close contacts, the last known day of exposure to a positive case is called “Day 0,” and subsequent days are counted forward from that day. For individuals who develop symptoms and test positive, whichever event happens first is considered “Day 0;” for individuals who are asymptomatic and test positive, the day of their positive test is considered “Day 0.” Subsequent days are counted forward from that day, with Days 5 or 10 being considered end of quarantine (depending on symptom development) and Days 6 and 11 being possible days of return to school/public, respective of symptom development

Currently, these are the symptoms (list)
