We accept children 24 months through five years of age. Our program is based on Links to Literacy, a thematic, literacy-based curriculum. It is a total learning system created and researched by professional educators, aligned with national and state school standards.

Our trained staff uses “state of the art” methods to create an environment where the children learn how to make choices, develop self-direction, and discover a love of learning.

Our Preschool is a home to warm hearts and happy faces! We provide a safe and fun place to experience Christian values of respect and kindness through new and diverse friendships.

Those in our preschool program have preferred status to enter our Kindergarten program. Although children need not be completely toilet trained, they need to wear “pull-ups” rather than diapers. Preschool hours are 6:45 AM until 6:00 PM. We are closed on mandated holidays.

Enrollment options, based on availability are:
• Full day, three days a week
• Full day, five days a week

                                 
Fees & Tuition
A contract is issued annually for students enrolled in the Preschool which reflects the tuition established by the Board of Trustees. The fees for 2005-2006 are as follows:

Registration Fee $150.00
Parents' Association Dues $50.00
Tuition:

• Full day, 3 per week $435 per month, $5,220 per 12-month term
• Full days, 5 per Week $495 per month, $5,940 per 12-month term

Multiple Child Discount
If more than one child in a family is registered, tuition for additional children is reduced by twenty percent (20%)

Tuition Refund Insurance
This is calculated on the total tuition with an interest rate of 2.5%.  If tuition is paid in full at the beginning of the child’s attendance, Tuition Refund Insurance is optional. If Tuition Refund Insurance is not taken by the family at the time of full payment, no tuition will be refunded if the child is withdrawn from or dismissed from the school.

Absences
Full payment of fees is due regardless of absences.
