When will I know if my child(ren) have been accepted into the program?

Letters to families indicating acceptance or waitlist status will be sent on Friday, March 15 via email. 

If we are accepted into the program, when will registration be due? 

Registration information will be included in the acceptance email. In order to finalize your enrollment and spot in the program, registration needs to be completed by Friday, March 22.

What happens if I do not turn my registration in by March 22?

Your spot will be given to someone on our waitlist and your name will be placed at the bottom of that list. After March 22, any waitlist student who has been offered a spot will have two weeks to complete registration and payment to maintain a spot in Grove Children’s Preschool. 

What do I need to complete registration? 

You will need your child’s birth certificate, three proofs of residency, and the other forms that will be included in your acceptance packet. If possible, we ask that we have a current physical exam form completed for your child by registration. We are also asking that parents pay the first month’s tuition of $437.60 at registration which will be applied to the following September’s tuition payment.

If we are a community family, when is our tuition due? Can we pay for a semester or the whole year ahead of time?

It is due on the first of every month and pays for the following month. For example, the Sept. 1 payment pays for October programming costs. Yes, you can pay as far in advance as you would like.
