1. Do the classes fill up quickly?

Yes, our classrooms are usually full within the first hour of registration.

2. How many spots will you have available for new students next year?

The number of spots available to new students depends on how many returning students we have. We will be able to give a better estimate at the Open House on March 15.

3. Are there any tips to ensuring a spot?

The best way to ensure a spot is to arrive at Amazon Community Center before registration begins.

4. Is there a waitlist?

We do keep a waitlist and fill spots as they open. It's hard to predict how many spots will open up and when. We do not fill any open spots after March 1 due to the disruption it can cause the classroom so late in the school year.

5. How does Amazon Preschool define "potty trained"?

We recognize that potty training is a developmental milestone children reach at different times and that sometimes this process can be stressful. While there is a wide range of time in which a child can reach this milestone and be considered in the normal range of development, due to the structure of our facilities and our staffing your child must be potty trained to attend Amazon Preschool. We define potty trained as:

• Able to communicate that they need to use the bathroom
• Willingness to enter a bathroom without an adult (adult can wait outside the bathroom door)
• Able to pull down their underwear and pants and pull them back up
• Able to wipe after using the toilet
• Able to change clothes with verbal support after occasional accidents

Prior to beginning preschool, we encourage parents to help their child practice these steps both at home and in a variety of other bathrooms to build confidence and comfort.
