Our Classes

In order to determine your options, the child should be in the age range for the class by 8/1 of the year they are entering that class. The admission fee is $75, which must be paid once registration is completed online. Please contact us if you have questions about which class would be best for your child. See the "Register" page to enroll and pay online. If your registration is not approved, that means you are on the wait list. Typically through the summer we have movement and many of our waitlist students get a spot in the class. We will let you know as soon as you are moved off the waitlist.
*According to Ohio law, a child must turn five years old by the first day of school in order to be eligible for Kindergarten. This is something to keep in mind when choosing a preschool path.*
