Waitlists in Early Childhood Education are dynamic and can evolve frequently.

A variety of factors influence when a spot may become available, such as:

➝ A family relocating

➝ A parent’s job situation changing

➝ A child aging up to the next age group

Unfortunately, we cannot predict the exact wait time, which may range from a week to a year. For detailed information, visit the Waitlist FAQ section below.

You are able to withdraw your child from the program at any time.

Please refer to the Family Handbook for specific details about the withdrawal process, including any necessary notice periods or steps you need to take.

Waitlists in Early Childhood Education are dynamic and can change often. Many factors influence when a spot may become available for any age group or program at TVELM.

We are unable to predict an exact wait time, as it varies from a week to potentially a year, depending on factors such as:

➝ A family relocating.

➝ A family deciding to stay home and no longer needing childcare.

➝ Work schedule changes for parents/guardians.

➝ A grandparent becoming available to care for their grandchild.

➝ A parent losing their job and no longer needing childcare.

➝ A child aging up and moving to the next classroom.

Children on the waitlist are not assigned a specific "number."

When a spot becomes available, we follow this order:

➝ If a current TVELM student is aging up to the next classroom, they will be offered the open spot.

➝ If a current TVELM student has a sibling needing a spot in the open classroom, the sibling will be offered the spot.

➝ After both of these options, it goes to the general waitlist.

Yes, we have Open Enrollment once a year for the upcoming school year, which runs from August to July.

Here’s how the process works:

February: Open Enrollment begins for current TVELM families to re-enroll for the next school year.

March: Waitlist families are given the opportunity to enroll, with the Director sending an email regarding current openings.

April: Enrollment opens to the community for any remaining spots.

Yes, we encourage all families to join the waitlist as early as possible. We cannot contact you about an open spot unless you are on the waitlist.

If a spot opens and you’re not ready to accept, you can choose to remain on the waitlist for the next available spot or request to be removed from the waitlist.

You will not be removed from the waitlist unless you request it.

We use the "One in Christ" curriculum along with an Emergent Curriculum approach, offering both academic and spiritual education.

The One in Christ curriculum focuses on biblical principles, while the Emergent Curriculum fosters child-centered learning.

Our curriculum is designed to cater to the needs of children from birth to 5 years old, with developmentally appropriate lessons and activities.

Our program encourages play-based learning, which is an approach that fosters literacy, numeracy, and social skills through hands-on, creative play. Children engage in activities that help them develop problem-solving abilities, motor skills, language, and cognitive skills.

As they play, children explore the world around them, and educators provide meaningful interactions to enhance the learning experience.

We serve children from 6 weeks to 5 years old. This allows us to provide high-quality, age-appropriate care for infants, toddlers, and preschool-aged children.

Yes, we are proud to be certified at Level 3 by the Paths to Quality (PTQ) program.

This certification is the highest level awarded to childcare centers in Indiana and reflects our commitment to providing a high-quality educational environment. We also adhere to CCDF, VCP, Registered Ministry, and NAEYC standards to ensure the best practices in early childhood education.

Our standard childcare hours are from 8:00 AM to 4:00 PM, Monday through Friday.

For families who need extended care, we offer additional hours from 7:00 AM to 8:00 AM and/or 4:00 PM to 5:00 PM based on availability. Please note that there may be a waitlist for extended care, so we recommend inquiring early if you're interested.

Yes, we use a parent/childcare communication app that allows us to send real-time updates, including photos and information about your child’s activities throughout the day.

This app also allows you to communicate directly with the teacher if you have any questions or concerns.

We adhere to state-required ratios, but we also pride ourselves on maintaining smaller-than-usual ratios to provide more individualized attention.

Here are the specific ratios for each age group:

✔ 6 weeks - 12 months: 4:1

✔ 1-2 years: 5:1

✔ 2-3 years: 5:1

✔ 3-5 years: 10:1

Yes, all staff are required to complete yearly training in Safe Sleep, CPR, First Aid, and other safety protocols in accordance with Indiana State Standards, PTQ standards, and NAEYC guidelines.

Our commitment to health and safety ensures your child is always in good hands.

Yes, we support all feeding choices. Whether your baby is breastfed or formula-fed, we work with families to ensure the child’s nutritional needs are met in the way that works best for each family.

Please refer to our Family Handbook for further details on how we support breastfeeding families.

Yes, we are a ministry of The Ville Church. We operate as a non-profit preschool and childcare center with a mission to provide high-quality care for children from birth to 5 years old while teaching them about Jesus and building relationships with families.

Yes, as a ministry of The Ville Church, we are committed to teaching children about Jesus in a developmentally appropriate way.

We introduce Bible stories, prayers, and Christian values that align with our doctrine, helping children understand God's love in a way they can relate to.

We believe that all Scripture is God-breathed (2 Timothy 3:16). It is inspired by God and the infallible and authoritative word of God. All Scripture should be the guide for our practical instruction for faith and our lives (John 5:39; Romans 15:4; 1 Corinthians 10:11).

We believe in the one living Triune God: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.

We believe God our father, the almighty, is the one and only true eternal God. He called all of creation into being.

We believe God is a God of love (1 John 4:8-10) and made us in His likeness (Genesis 1:27).

We believe Jesus Christ, God’s one and only son, suffered and died on the cross as the perfect sacrifice for sin; that He was buried and, in three days, He rose again.

We believe He will come again to judge the living and the dead.

We believe the Holy Spirit lives in those who believe and that through the gifts of His Spirit, we are equipped for the works He has planned for us (Ephesians 2:10).

We believe that Christian Education—educating people to know Christ as our Lord and Savior—is important from the crib to the grave. Our desire is to see not only children and youth, but adults, to grow in their knowledge and understanding of God’s love for us.

No, you do not need to attend The Ville Church to enroll your child in our preschool and childcare program. We welcome children and families from all backgrounds.

Yes, we use the Ages and Stages system to assess your child’s development.

We hold conferences twice a year (and as needed) to discuss your child’s progress, strengths, and areas for growth. These evaluations help us tailor learning experiences to each child's individual needs.

Our program focuses on guidance rather than punishment. We use NAEYC standards and Conscious Discipline strategies to teach children positive social and emotional behaviors.

We aim to provide an environment where children feel safe, understood, and supported in their growth.

We understand that separation can be challenging for both children and parents.

We use strategies tailored to each child's unique needs, working closely with families to ensure a smooth transition and provide emotional support.

Children in our Little Learners Program (ages 3-5) must be fully potty trained before they can attend.

Potty training is defined as the ability to walk to the bathroom, use the toilet independently, wipe, flush, and wash hands without assistance. If you have any questions or need support with the process, feel free to reach out.
