SPECIAL INSTRUCTIONS!

Universal Preschool – UPK is a State funded program allowing Pre-K students to attend 10-15 hours a week tuition free. Note: Please apply for 10 hours if you are wanting to enroll in the 3-day program OR 15 hours if you are wanting to enroll in the 4 or 5-day program.

There will be a small monthly surcharge to cover additional weekly hours beyond the UPK paid hours. The amount depends on the number of days your child will attend. UPK hours do not apply to our 2-day Pre-K program. The parent paid monthly tuition amounts are as follows:

• 3-Day Program | $60
• 4-Day Program | $30
• 5-Day Program | $150

Students qualify for UPK when they are four by October 1st and are attending the year prior to Kindergarten. Funding is not available for students who are enrolling for a second year of Pre-K or are five years old by October 1st. However, families are welcome to enroll for a second year of Pre-K and register for tuition-based enrollment.
