Integrated Preschool students are students who don't need special education services (typically-developing). These tuition-based spots in our special education preschool program are a unique opportunity for young learners to thrive alongside our students with disabilities to play, learn, and grow together. This program is available to children ages three to four. Students must turn 3 by August 31.
If your child turns five years old on or before August 31, they are age-appropriate for Kindergarten and will not be eligible for Integrated Preschool. See information about kindergarten.
Preschool is offered half-day for an AM (9:20–11:50 am) or PM (1:10–3:40 pm) session:
- 2-day-a-week program (Monday/Thursday or Tuesday/Friday) for 2.5 hours each day. Tuition: $165 per month.
- 4-day-a-week program (Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, Friday). Tuition: $280 per month.
There is a 10% discount if tuition is paid for the entire school year at once (discount only available in September). Tuition will not be prorated because of illness, vacations, holidays, conferences, weather, etc. No tuition is charged for the month of June to account for these non-school days. All preschool students will follow state immunization guidelines.
Reduced-rate tuition is available for households with a qualifying Child Nutrition Application on file. Applications must be current (2024–25 applications open in August in Skyward Family Access) and the consent-to-share form must accompany your completed application. Reduced rate tuition: $75/month. Learn more information about the Child Nutrition Application.
