Al Huda Preschool

Welcome to Al-Huda Pre-School. It is our hope, that you and your child will find
a loving, nurturing, satisfying, and rewarding learning experience in the Islamic
Environment of our pre-school.
We strongly encourage you as parents to work closely with our pre-school. Take
the time to get acquainted with the director and your childs teacher.
Communication and cooperation between home and school is essential for your
childs success.
An Islamic educational program can only be successful when it is reinforced in all
areas of the childs life. Learning starts at an early age. However, it does not
begin and end with the school day. It requires continuous reinforcement at home.
Learning begins in the home environment and with the example set by the
parents. We encourage parents to strive to be role models of an Islamic lifestyle
for their children. Children learn first by the example of their parents. Together,
as a team, Insha Allah, we can raise righteous Muslim children who will grow to
be leaders and examples for the entire community.
This handbook contains basic information about the pre-school, including your
rights and responsibilities as a parent, our duties as a pre-school, a school calendar,
financial agreement contract, and other useful information. Please keep this
handbook for reference throughout the school year.

Special Needs:

There are special instances when Al Huda Preschool Staff and the Administration
feel that students need to be evaluated for learning disabilities, behavioral
problems, speech delays, and developmental delays both physically and/or
mentally. In this case, Al Huda Preschool reserves the right to have its own
Physician and Specialized Evaluator conduct the evaluation. The process will be
conducted in the following manner:
1. The teacher must notify the Al Huda Preschool Administration. This
notification will be done in a confidential manner and the concerns will be
documented. No other staff member in the Preschool will be notified nor
will the issue be discussed.
2. The parents of the child will be notified by the Director or the Assistant
Director regarding the concern.
3. Once the parents are notified, an appointment will be set up with either
the School Physician or the Evaluator (depending upon the nature of the
concern) and will be conducted in the Preschool.
4. The parents can opt to take the child to a Physician of their own, for a
second opinion but are required to bring in proper documentation of the
evaluation within 4 days.
5. If the child is found to have special needs that Al Huda Preschool is not
equipped to handle, the child must be removed from the Preschool by the
end of the week. There will not be a two-week notification period and the
payments will stop at the end of the following pay period.
It is to be noted that Al Huda Preschool Staff is not trained to deal with certain
developmental delays and issues such as ADHD, autism, or mental and physical
handicaps. We pray that insha Allah in the future we may be able to provide
these services, to our children. Most importantly, it is not fair to the child who
needs specialized care to be in a facility that can not provide the essential care for
their growth and development.
