More Details About Registration
The importance of preschool experiences cannot be overemphasized. These experiences are foundations upon which other education is built. The preschool years should be happy and relaxed – a time in which children feel successful. When a child enters the Weekday Preschool, he does not come merely for academic development. Rather, he comes to develop habits and share experiences that will provide a firm foundation upon which he will continue to build throughout his education and life.

At Sugar Hill Church, a child will be provided an environment to learn to interact socially with teachers and other children, to work and play in a group and to grasp the concept of sharing. Children will be given the opportunity for following simple and reasonable directions as well as creative, emotional and artistic expression. The children are taught how to use books, to love and appreciate them, and to realize that pictures and words convey meanings. Opportunities for self-expression through music and singing, show and tell, drawing and painting, conversation and other creative activities are provided to help the children as they discover who they are.

The Weekday Preschool is an outreach program of Sugar Hill Church engaging our community with the love and hope of Jesus Christ. The learning environment, which teaches children about themselves and the world around them, is designed to stimulate an awareness of our God and His love for us.

Weekday preschool is really an adventure for any child. It is the beginning of an exciting new phase of life – the school years.
Our core curriculum is Wee Learn which is published by Lifeway Christian
Resources. Wee Learn is composed of thematic units that are appropriate
for and of interest to preschoolers. This curriculum incorporates learning
concepts and idea expression through play (the work of young children).
Children will have the opportunity throughout each unit to explore,
discover, imagine, imitate, and create in centers of language arts,
mathematics, blocks, home-living (dramatic play), puzzles, manipulatives,
art, science and nature, sand and water, and music. Bible concepts and
character development partner with every theme of study, reinforcing that
God and His Word are relevant and important to all areas of our lives and
our world. Other materials and resources are used to enhance and
supplement the Wee Learn curriculum in all classes. Our Kindergarten
class offers the following additional curricula UFLI, Heggerty Phonemic
Awareness, and Heggerty Bridge to Writing for English Language Arts. All 3-
year and older classes teach Heggerty Phonological/Phonemic Awareness
curriculum in addition to phonics instruction, giving our students a solid
foundation in literacy skills.

All classes attend a Music and Movement enrichment class daily, as well as
weekly enrichment classes focused on STEAM and Bible. Our Pre-K, TK,
and K classes have an additional enrichment class called QUEST, which is a
project-based learning opportunity that helps develop critical thinking
skills, problem solving, innovation/creativity, project/time management,
collaboration/teamwork, and many other important life skills. We believe
this experiential learning grows our students’ capacity of being developed
into gifted and talented learners.

Each week, students attend Chapel, an early childhood appropriate
worship experience helping preschoolers grow in their understanding and
love for God, other people, and our world. To ease their transition into the
classroom and school, our younger age students will begin attending
Chapel in the fall.

Welcome to the Weekday Preschool at Sugar Hill Church! Our staff looks forward to partnering with you in the development of your child this year. Here's a list of everything you need to know to prepare for the start of the school year:

Start Dates + Open House

We will kick-off the 2026-27 school year with Open House/Meet the Teacher on Monday, August 31st and Tuesday, September 1st, between 9:00 AM - 2:00 PM, with each class offering appointments on one of these dates. Appointments will be staggered throughout the morning. Your child’s teacher will contact you the week of August 17th to introduce herself and provide more specific information concerning her class Open House/Meet the Teacher event. The first day of school is scheduled for Wednesday, September 2nd, except for our T/Th and T/Th/F classes, which will have their first day on Thursday, September 3rd.  If you have travel conflicts with any of these dates, just mention those to your teacher when she calls, and she will try to schedule another appointment for you and your child to visit prior to school beginning.

immunization records

All students are required to have a current (non-expired) immunization form on file in our school clinic PRIOR to attending school. Immunization forms can be mailed, emailed, or faxed (678-636-0081) to our Administrative Office, jill@sugarhillchurch.com

Please be advised that children are NOT able to attend school until a current immunization record (GA DPH Form 3231) or exemption form (GA DPH Form 2208) is on file at the school, so it is important to consider any lead-time or appointments necessary to acquire a current form from your child's pediatrician, so your child's school start date isn't delayed.

You can download a copy of the appropriate form here:

If you have questions or concerns about your child's immunization record, please contact our School Clinic Coordinator, Denise Crabb, at clinic@shcweekday.com.

Medical Conditions & Medication forms

If your child has a medical condition which will necessitate medication to be stored at the school during the year, please contact our Clinic Coordinator, Denise Crabb (clinic@shcweekday.com) to make her aware of the condition and medication needs, and fill out and submit the appropriate form (below) with the medication in its original packaging.

Parents/guardians are responsible for providing the school with accurate, current medical information and any required medications for their child. This includes updating the school promptly regarding any changes in health conditions, treatment plans, or prescriptions, as well as replacing medications prior to their expiration date.

The school cannot administer medication or provide appropriate care without the necessary, up-to-date documentation and properly supplied medications. In the event that current medical information or medication is not provided, the school shall not be held responsible or liable for any resulting health-related consequences or for any missed school days while awaiting updated documentation or replacement medication.

If you have questions, concerns, or pertinent health information concerning your child, please contact Ms. Denise at clinic@shcweekday.com as soon as possible.

Prescription Medications

For any serious conditions involving medication, the appropriate school issued form must be completed by a medical doctor and provided to the school with any accompanying non-expired medication (original prescription intact) PRIOR to your child attending school, so please be sure to plan accordingly if your pediatrician requires lead-time for completing the necessary documentation.

Over-the-Counter Medications

For over-the-counter medication not involving a serious condition with administering instructions that adhere to the manufacturer guidelines, a parent can complete the school issued over-the-counter medications form (without pediatric doctor assistance) and provide it to our clinic coordinator with the medication needed.

school supplies

Following are the back-to-school supplies needed for each student for your planning purposes. If you have more than one child attending, we ask that you provide the supplies for each child as listed for his/her age group. Some classroom teachers may provide a "wishlist" at Open House or later of specific items for their classroom or for individual activities throughout the year.

Each child will need:

  • Lunch box/bag
  • Refillable water bottle
  • Book Bag

When choosing a book bag, please consider the child's age and size and pick a bag that will hold the child's daily needs (i.e. communication folder (9"x12"), change of clothes bag, and any diapers needed), but not so large that the bag is overly heavy or difficult for the child to wear/carry. Bags with mesh pockets on the outer side to hold the child's water bottle work best, but lunch boxes can be carried to help lessen the bag's weight and do NOT have to fit inside the child's book bag.

Please bring the following school supplies to Open House:

There will be staff members at the front entry to collect your supplies when you arrive.

In preparation for the July 1st tuition payment, it is imperative that you accept the invitation, setup your login credentials, and update your family information (including auto-draft payment details) before the first tuition payment is due. Following are the steps involved:

  1. Follow the directions provided in the PROCARE email to download the app on your cell phone and create a parent account.
  2. To add your child, enter the 10-digit code provided in the PROCARE email.
  3. Edit student/parent info at the PROFILE option at bottom right of screen.
    1. If you have more than one child attending SHC Weekday, they should already be linked in your family profile. Please be sure to update each child’s information, including a current photo. You can toggle between each child’s profile by pressing the circle icon with his/her initials at the top of the screen.
    2. When updating PARENTS OR GUARDIANS, please include a mobile phone # for each parent. Also, include a current email address for any parent wanting to receive billing information and/or school correspondence. Also, activate the emergency contact option for any parent/guardian/authorized pick-up person who could be contacted in the event of an emergency or transportation issue. Please be sure to press SAVE (top right corner of screen) before returning to main profile screen.
    3. If you plan to allow other individuals to pick up your child from preschool, please include those names under “FAMILY & ADDITIONAL AUTHORIZED PICKUPS.” Parents will be contacted first for any emergency and/or transportation issues, followed by any FAMILY & ADDITIONAL AUTHORIZED PICKUPS who have emergency contact option activated. If you have a preference of call order, please add a priority # in parenthesis beside the name… i.e. name (1), name (2), etc. Please be sure to press SAVE (top right corner of screen) before returning to main profile screen.
    4. If your child has any medical conditions, such as diabetes, asthma, or allergies, which could possibly require medication to be administered during preschool hours, please ensure any/all medication is listed in the MEDICATION field.

  4. Lastly, press the “hamburger icon” (three lines) at the top left of the screen and then “MAKE PAYMENT” to setup your tuition payment details. As a reminder, SHC Weekday requires auto-draft monthly tuition payments, so you will need to “AGREE & CONTINUE” to authorize tuition auto-drafting.
If you have any questions, please email us (jill@sugarhillchurch.com) We will answer and/or connect with you as soon as possible.

The preschool years are such a precious time in the life of a child and his/her parents. We thank you again for the opportunity to share this year of loving, learning, and growing together with your family.
