COVID-19 FAQ

We understand that many uncertainties related to the current public health crisis remain, and we are all unsure of exactly what the 2020-2021 school year will look like. However, to best prepare for the fall and ensure that available SPP spaces can be filled by the families that need them, we are moving forward with our enrollment process. We will keep families apprised of any changes or developments that occur within the program as a result of new public guidance.

1. Will this program follow public school closures?
Seattle Preschool Program providers determine their own schedules. Many programs, especially those that operate out of SPS buildings, align with district closures. We advise checking with individual providers for schedule details. To learn more about the guidance from Washington Office of Superintendent of Public Instruction (OSPI), please see the following link:(Reopening Washington Schools 2020: District Planning Guide)
2. What is the policy regarding tuition if we have another COVID spike and the preschool is canceled?
SPP intends to serve all children in some capacity for the school year. If public health guidelines prevent in-person learning, alternative service and learning opportunities will be offered and tuition policies will be reviewed accordingly. As of now, SPP intends to operate in-person and with tuition charged, as applicable.
3. What preventative measures are you taking to reduce the risks of spreading COVID in the classroom/schools?
SPP is following all Public Health guidance in accordance with the PHSKC Guide for child care and schools. To learn more about the specific guidelines, please see the following link:(Public Health COVID-19 guidance for schools and child care)
