Enrollment Options

The preschool program is for children ages two through five.

Full-time, half-day: 8:30am to 12:30pm, Monday through Friday.

Part-time, half-day program: Three days per week, 8:30am to 12:30pm.

FAQ: Can I switch between full-time and part-time? Answer: Part-time spots are limited to maintain a small group size; therefore special approval is required to switch from full to part-time. You may upgrade from the part-time to full-time as I reserve the entire week for your child. I do this so we can maintain a small cohort of children (the same, small number of children interacting).

FAQ: Can I choose which days I attend? Answer: It is recommended the days be consecutive so there are less transitions for your child to deal with; however, there is flexibility to work around your needs. Once you choose your days, I ask you either maintain that same schedule or provide a two-week notice of a change of days so I can properly plan activities and other logistics.

Tuition

Tuition for the half-day option is $100 per week.

Tuition for the part-time, half-day option is $75 per week.

*All state and county subsidized financial assistance programs are accepted.

Registration/Enrollment Process

  1. An application for enrollment is submitted over the phone or online via the link below.
  2. You will be emailed a welcome letter that includes current availability, answering any questions or concerns you noted in your application, and to arrange a phone interview. During the phone interview, we can arrange a time and date for the facility tour.
  3. During the facility tour your child must be present so I can meet him/her. The facility tour is designed to provide you with an in-person assessment of the environment and to meet me in a setting where you can have one-on-one attention. Due to this and to provide a safe environment for currently enrolled children, tours are done after hours only.
  4. For enrollment to be complete, a contract signing appointment is made where we review and the contract/handbook and licensing forms are reviewed and signed. Once this step is completed, registration is complete.
