We would like to welcome you to Part-Day Preschool and say how thrilled we are to have you join us. The program is focused not only on caring for your children, but in also involving parents. You are not only invited but also encouraged to join us for snack in our family style dining, participate in any planned activities, and share any hobbies or special skills with your child’s class.
In order to have the program run smoothly and effectively for your children, we have a few requests. Here, your child will be assigned a cubby where he/she are encouraged to bring a change of clothing in case of an emergency. We ask that your child does not bring any toys from home, primarily for safety reasons; we want all of our children to remain in a good health and stay safe. We also ask that as you enter the classroom, have your child wash their hands. All these things will provide a safe and efficient environment for everyone.

The Kirtland Air Force Base Youth Sports program´s mission is to provide all eligible youth a forum/opportunity to participate in a vast array of individual, team, and leisure sports, while creating an encouraging, fun, instructional, and safe environment for youth to develop physically, mentally, and socially.
The program follows the National Standards for Youth Sports developed by an assembly of forty-eight (48) of the nation’s leading experts representing a wide variety of disciplines affecting youth sports. They developed these Standards to provide all youth groups with a focus on what is best for children in their growing and learning years. Through the implementation of these Standards, parents can feel confident that youth sports will truly be a positive character building experience for their child.
