We are moving the start date for our new preschool to Monday, October 4.  We currently do not have enough children (FTE's) enrolled to begin this program.  This will give us through August to market and enroll new students and give families the necessary time to change schools. (Parents need to give their existing schools a 30-day notice that they are leaving.)  Spring Valley Academy will host a Preschool Round-Up on Tuesday, August 24, from 9:00 to 11:00 am or Thursday, August 26, from 4:00 to 6:00 pm.  Come meet our new Director, Breezy Davis, and teacher, Wendy Cassell, visit the classroom ans new playground, and your preschooler can even experience a sample lesson!

The SVA Preschool Program will be established as a not-for-profit Early Childhood Education Program owned by the Ohio Conference of SDA operated by Spring Valley Academy on their campus providing a developmentally appropriate, safe, stimulating educational environment and opportunities for children. The initial primary goal will be to expand the already existing Kinder Care Program to provide care and education to meet the needs of SVA families, constituent families and neighboring families. The Center will be licensed by the State of Ohio and comply with the Columbia Union School-based Pre-K Program Guidelines.

The Center will be open from 7:00 am to 6:00 pm, Monday through Thursday, and 7:00 am to 5:00 pm on Friday. It will accommodate full-time, part-time, and drop-in students.  The Center's closure for Holidays, vacations and teacher in-service will follow their own year-round calendar (soon to be posted) and does not necessarily follow the SVA school calendar, i.e., Preschool will be in session on snow day(s) unless they are under a Level 3 emergency. It will be able to utilize many of the benefits of the SVA campus to enrich the overall programs such as: vegetarian lunch program, computers, library, gym, mulitpurpose room, extending playground and surrounding grounds, music, art, foreign language, after school care, and others. These resources and services will help SVA Preschool to stand out from the competition while maintaining the intimacy of a small school.
