Is the facility ONLY serving children belonging to the Bozard Ford Lincoln employees?

The Bird’s Nest was created in partnership with Bozard Ford Lincoln to serve their employees, but we are a separate business and do serve the community at large.

Is lunch provided for my child?

Parents provide lunch and snacks for their students, as we do not have a kitchen on site. Our teachers work incredibly hard to communicate what the students are loving, how much they are eating, and what they aren’t really touching during meal times. We work with families as a team, to make sure each child is fed a nutritious and balanced meal.

We do occasionally have special celebrations and food tastings. You will be well informed before we have these special events.

Do you offer part time care?

We do not currently offer part time care. Things change constantly and you are always welcome to inquire at 904-901-6378.

Things NOT to bring…

We know the struggles of convincing a child they don’t need to bring a favorite toy, new book, or special item to school. Please try to discourage your child from bringing anything that could blend in with our center toys. We want those important items to be well loved and played with at home.

You may absolutely come in, and we will work with you to find you a comfortable space to breastfeed your child on a schedule as needed.

My child receives special services, may those providers utilize school time to provide services needed?

We would love to partner with service providers to make sure we are a good fit for their needs. We understand how vital these services can be and will do our best to be accommodating. Please discuss specifics with our directors.

How does VPK work? What is required and what are the fees for?

We will not be offering state funded VPK. We will be offering state approved curriculum and providing progress monitoring assessments.

If your child is going to attend a state funded VPK, you will need to preregister your child here.

We will NOT be transporting your child for field trips. We are very excited to offer in house field trip experiences with local partners. You will have advanced notice of any activities.
