Rules & Policies
ARRIVAL
Please arrive 5 minutes early. Please place all personal belongings as well as shoes and socks in the cubbies*. All class students should wait quietly behind the cubbies for their class to be called except for evening preschool students who should wait upstairs as their class will begin and end in the upstairs preschool room. All children in the waiting area should be supervised by an adult until their class is called.
*MWT is not responsible for items left in the cubbies.
VIEWING
Parents and relatives may observe from the upstairs viewing area only. Please do not distract or “coach” your child from the viewing area in any way. The viewing area is for quietly viewing the gym… it is your responsibility to make sure that any other children that you have with you are quietly viewing, studying, or playing.

Please meet your child promptly in the lobby at the end of their class. Children may never wait or play outside without adult supervision. If you are going to be late… please call the front desk and let us know.
