Children in this class must be 3 year old by September 1st of the year they are to attend preschool.

Tuition
No one will be denied participation due to an inability to pay. Sliding fee scales are an option, as are payment plans. Partial or full scholarships are also available. We suggest tuition based on gross
family income. Suggested tuition rates for the 4-year old class ranges from $10 -$65 per month, depending on income. Suggested tuition rates for the 3-year old class ranges from $10-$45 per month, depending on income. If tuition is difficult to pay, we work with each family on an individual basis to determine what level of tuition is feasible. Please call the preschool for details.

It is a wonderful opportunity to observe how your child interacts with others at school and to see what is of special interest to your child.
