A Note from the Director

Dear Preschool Families,
I hope this message finds you well. As we settle into the new school year, I wanted to take a moment to express my gratitude for your support and enthusiasm so far this school year. It truly has been a great start to the school year 24-25! We know that this transition can be a stressful one for both children and families. We appreciate everyone’s working together to support the needs of our youngest learners in Lakota. 
I so appreciate the collaboration between our dedicated staff and you, our amazing families. Your encouragement has made a significant difference in creating a warm and welcoming environment for everyone this school year. We believe that strong communication between home and school is essential for supporting your child’s development and success. Please feel free to reach out to us with any questions, concerns, or feedback at any time. Again, we know that this transition can sometimes be a difficult one, but together, with good communication, we can create a positive and supportive learning environment for all.
Seeing the children’s smiles and excitement each day the past few weeks is truly rewarding, and at the end of the day, this is what it is all about! We are committed to providing a nurturing and enriching experience for your children, and your partnership is invaluable in achieving this goal.

For Tuition Families
We appreciate your patience as we transition to a new system for paying fees this school year. Just recently, we were able to complete training and get students loaded into the system. Below is a link to a document that further explains how to set up your PaySchools account and pay your monthly fees. Tuition will be billed on the first business day of each month, October - May. September’s billing was posted to your account on the 5th, due to the transition to the new system. Please ensure that tuition fees are paid each month to avoid any disruptions in your child’s learning experience. If you have any questions or need assistance with the payment process, feel free to contact our office at contactpreschool@lakotaonline.com or call 513-870-5378 and select option 1.

Carline Procedures and Safety
We have been very pleased with our drop off and pick up procedures for our classroom students thus far. We very much appreciate everyone’s patience and awareness in the carline. For the safety of all our students, please continue to adhere to our carline procedures during drop-off and pick-up times. We ask that you stay off your phones while in the carline to ensure the safety and efficiency of the process. Additionally, please be aware of others around you and the directions being given in order to help maintain a smooth, safe, and timely flow of traffic. Your cooperation in following these guidelines helps us maintain a secure environment for everyone.
