About the Program

We do not have a required list of school supplies like Elementary School.  Generally preschool children will need a back pack (big enough to hold a letter size file folder), a change of clothing, diapers or pull-ups (if appropriate) and diaper wipes. Your child’s teacher will be able to tell you more information at the classroom visit. Diapers and other personal supplies are kept in an individual cubby marked with each child’s name. Preschool provides crayons, markers and all of the learning supplies for all children. Teachers may suggest additional items during the school year specific to their classroom needs.

Most classrooms range from eight to fifteen children with at least two adults in the classroom at all times. The number of children in the class is determined by the age of the children in the group and the developmental needs of individual children in the class.

Both breakfast and lunch are offered to all children at school every day. Students can bring meals from home or purchase them from the cafeteria. On early release days, children who purchase school lunches will be provided with a bagged lunch to take with them at dismissal.

Please fill out the Free or Reduced Lunch Application if your child is eligible for these services.

WJCC Schools does not provide before/after school care for Preschool age students.  If your child attends a daycare in the community and/or you have questions in regards to before and after school bus transportation, please contact the Bright Beginnings Office at 757-564-8721 ext. 2.

ParentVUE provides families with another way to communicate with schools and for schools to communicate with families. A ParentVUE account is required in order to complete the online pre-registration process.  If you have never had a ParentVue account, you will be provided instructions and a personalized activation key when you are invited to complete Bright Beginnings Online Pre-registration (OLR).

It is important that our children learn early in life the importance of attending school every day.  Regular and consistent attendance is an expectation of all Bright Beginnings students.  For more information regarding attendance please refer to the Bright Beginnings Parent Handbook.
