Enrollment
Enrollment in our preschool is open to all children. Children must be at least 24 months of age by September when they enroll or they will need to wait until January to enroll. We have four classes: Terrific Teddies (Young Beginners, 2-3 years); Friendly Fish (Beginners, 3-4 years); Marvelous Monkeys (Pre-Kindergarten, 4-5 years); and Busy Bees (Transitional Kindergarten, ages 4-5). Placement in a class will be determined by several factors including the age of the child by September 1.
Children must be self-sufficient in the use of the restroom before they may enter the three-year old class. Pre-Kindergarten is intended for younger four-year olds; Transitional Kindergarten is for children who could have gone to Kindergarten but were not yet ready or have missed the Kindergarten cut-off date. Children need to attend either three days (Monday-Wednesday-Friday) or five days (Monday-Friday) in the Pre-Kindergarten and Transitional Kindergarten classes.
Before attendance may begin, each enrolling family will sign a contract for the year. We offer a "School Year" contract (September - middle of June) that indicates the hours of attendance and the financial agreement accepted. Contracts may be amended as to days and hours if openings are available. Tuition payments are due on the first of each month beginning September 1 and ending June 1.
A non-refundable registration fee of $145.00 must be paid at the time of enrollment. A tuition deposit of $100.00 is required at the time of registration and will be applied to June tuition. Registration paperwork which includes emergency contact information, doctor's report, immunization record and other required forms, must be turned in on or before the child's first day of school.
Summer Camp will be offered (8-9 weeks depending on the school calendar) in the summer and requires a separate registration.
