Immunizations
Laurel Church Preschool understands and respects the complicated, personal decisions that must be made regarding immunizations. We do not require that all students are fully immunized before attending, but we do ask that families disclose their student's immunization status. In the event of an outbreak, we need to be aware of immunization status to best communicate with families. The immunization status is of a student is confidential information and will never be shared with another family. We ask that all families disclose their student's immunization status to Laurel Church Preschool via the Certificate of Immunization Status or the Immunization Certificate of Exemption. These forms are provided by the state and need to be confirmed by a doctor's office.

- We accept children into care who may have an exemption from immunization. If a parent/guardian chooses to exempt their child from immunization requirements, they must complete and sign the COE form, which accompanies the CIS form.
- The child’s health care provider must also sign the COE form for a medical, religious belief, or personal/philosophical exemption.
- A health care provider’s signature is not required for a “religious membership" exemption.
