Program Description

Ms. Heather’s Advanced Preschool for children ages 3-4 will begin on Tuesday, September 3, 2024. The last day of the program will be Thursday, May 22, 2025. This program will be offered four days a week – Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday from 9:00-12:30.

Each child will participate in developmentally appropriate activities for his or her age level. This preschool experience will emphasize growth in language and literacy, math concepts, science, social studies, arts, health and physical development, and social and emotional growth. This private program is for children ages 3-4 years old. Students must be three years old as of September 1, 2023 to attend this class. The Registration Fee of $400 per child is a non-refundable and non-transferable fee, which reserves your child’s spot in the program. It is used to order art supplies, a class folder, school book bag, school teeshirt, and a school year subscription to a weekly preschool magazine. The annual tuition can be paid monthly in the amount of $365 for the months of September-May if all payments are made by the 1 st of every month when the monthly installment is due. Tuition is due on the first day of each month with late fees beginning on the 5th of each month. Absences will not result in a reduction of tuition as registration is for the full school year (9 months). Your child will have the advantage of receiving a quality preschool education in a very small setting with experienced and nurturing teachers.

Parents will be asked to pack a healthy lunch for their children. Parents will also be asked 2-3 times during the year to provide a large box of crackers, cereal or other healthy snack for the children to share as a mid-morning snack. Children must be completely potty trained to attend the 3’s preschool program.

If you have a student entering 3’s or Pre-K you will need to drop them off and pick them up in our daily carpool.
If you have a student entering K, 1st, 2nd, 3rd, or 4th, you will need to bring them in the lobby entering door A.
