Do children have to be potty trained to be in the preschool classroom?

Yes. Children in the preschool classroom have to be potty trained or active training in order to move into that room. If they are not they will continue in our toddler classroom until this skill is learned. Together at home and at school this can be achieved rather quickly with consistency and communication.
