2020-2021 PRESCHOOL REGISTRATION

Children who are 3 or 4 years old are eligible to register for preschool for the 2020-2021 school year. Children must be fully toilet trained to start in the program. Preschool is offered five days a week during a morning or afternoon session. Tuition will be broken down into 10 monthly payments, not to exceed $350 per month, payable one month in advance (i.e., September's tuition is due August 1, 2020, October's tuition is due September 1, 2020, etc.). We are encouraging all parents and guardians to enroll their child online as early as possible for district staffing and planning purposes. All students (new or currently enrolled) must submit a check for $50 to hold a spot in preschool for the following year.

NOTE: RETURNING PRESCHOOL STUDENTS ATTENDING THE WALNUT RIDGE PRESCHOOL PROGRAM SHOULD NOT DO THE ONLINE PRE-REGISTRATION.
