Pre-K Class Enrollment

Welcome to Pre-K!

Please complete this form to enroll your child in the 2026-2027 school year.

We Rock the Spectrum Asheville is now enrolling for our popular, newly expanded Asheville preschool program where kids learn through play, everyday!

Children learn when they are allowed to explore their environments and natural curiosities through play. We incorporate this philosophy to encourage learning. We meet kids at their level, teaching preschool skills, kindness, inclusion and empathy. Taught by elementary school and early learning educators, children feel loved, respected and encouraged to develop to their fullest potential while celebrating their diversity. Our mission is ingrained in a whole child perspective, cultivated in both academics and social emotional learning, we develop critical problem-solving skills through mindfulness, free play, Montessori-inspired classrooms, sensory fun, music, movement, Spanish, American Sign Language, self-directed learning opportunities and teacher-led activities. By incorporating programs for children of different levels of abilities, we aim to create citizens who are empathetic and inclusive. It is our belief that using a play-based, holistic education will nurture children’s innate sense of curiosity, leadership and global responsibility.
Classes are by age group, 2-3 years and 3.5-6 years. 

Lots of gym time is integrated into our program. Small-group instructional setting will include circle time, art activities, sensory activities, Spanish and sign language, and specialized instruction as needed. 

Class is held from 8:30-12:30. Class enrollment is on a first come-first serve basis and requires payment by Friday the previous week. This payment will be auto drawn via Brightwheel the Friday prior to the week your child will be attending.  If payment is not received by this time, your spot will not be held. Your child may attend 1-5 days a week. These days are to be specified at the beginning of enrollment and remain constant. Certain exceptions may apply. If you decide to withdraw your child from our program, we will need at least 4 weeks notice to be able to cease the automatic billing. Your signed contract in Brightwheel details this procedure.

Each month our class will host a specific theme that all activities & art projects will follow. Your child will experience imaginative play while they explore a new theme, and every day will dive deep into investigating things like animals, transportation, food & fitness, books, and more while learning pre-k basics. Students have the opportunity to play independently and teachers will be leading activities and will assist with any other specialized instruction necessary. 

Class ONLY takes place in the We Rock the Spectrum Asheville facility. There will be no field trips. 

At each drop off parent will sign the child in, and out at pick up using the Brightwheel app on their phone.  

If our teachers notice that the child is ill, we will isolate your child from other children, (an adult will stay with them) and call for immediate pick-up. Child must be picked up within 30 minutes from time that first attempt to contact parent on Brightwheel or there will be a $20 charge/30 mins or any part of, to pay for an additional staff member to stay with them in the isolated room.

All participants should bring a backpack filled with the items listed below:

1 change of clothes (at a minimum).  We understand accidents happen, and therefore please provide a change of clothes in your student’s backpack daily. Younger students may need multiple options.

Wipes/Pull-ups/Diapers

Spill proof water bottle

If child drinks milk, please include a cold pack to keep the milk cold. Milk must be in a leak proof cup.

Separate lunch box with Lunch and Snacks (NO NUTS/PEANUTS ALLOWED). 

Chew Necklace for Mouthing Behaviors (if needed - If persistent issue arises; the student will be provided one at cost). Pacifiers are permitted for 2 year olds beginning school and we will work to replace it with a chewy necklace during school hours.

Each class session is conducted in a small-group format. For our 3.5-6 year olds, we allow 15 students per day, per class, with 2-3 teachers/coaches per class. For our 2-3.5 year olds we will have a group of 8-10 students with 2-3 teachers. During School's Out Club Days and the summer semester our 3.5yo-6yo numbers increase per day, with additional teachers/coaches. Numbers allowed in the gym are subject to change based on NC and Buncombe County Guidelines.

Cancellation Policy: If a student misses a day of class they will be charged for the full amount of that day. Because of the nature of our class, we only allow for a minimal number of clients to attend to ensure we are able to prompt appropriate skills and work with each child individually. Your payment holds your spot and once the spots are full, we have a wait list for those who wish to attend. Many families wish to bring their children to our class and if you do not plan on attending we would like to provide that spot to another family. Payments for days enrolled are non-refundable.

Early Drop Off or Late Pick Up Fees:

Pre-K starts promptly at 8:30 am and ends promptly at 12:30 pm. We cannot take children early as we are not staffed for early drop off. If you arrive earlier or later than your scheduled class time this will change our teacher to student ratio. We understand that life happens but ALL families are to arrive at least 5 minutes prior to your scheduled pick up time so the instructors are able to discuss your student's day. If you pick your child up more than 5 minutes late you will be charged our late pick up rate of $20.

Other fees include but are not limited to: snack fees and water fees if these items are not provided from home. These items will be provided at cost to the card on file.

 

Please tell us all you can about your child's uniqueness, preferences and any tips from home to help us navigate your child through Pre-K successfully!
