Throughout the year it is important that the preschool staff be informed of illnesses, injuries, allergies, changes in family situations and any other information that will help make the child's preschool experience a positive and beneficial one.
Solicitation
Parents will sign permission to share their name, phone number and address on a class list. The list of Grinnell College Preschool families may not be used for any form of solicitation.
