Preschool at Northwestern High School

The Northwestern High School is pleased to announce that they will be holding a preschool from March 15, 2012 to May 11, 2012.  Children between the ages of three (must be three by March 1st) and five that are toilet trained, socially prepared for organized play, currently not enrolled in kindergarten, and have their own means of transportation may enroll.

For the entire session of preschool, there will be a charge of $20.00 per child.  This charge is necessary to offset the cost of toys, equipment, and supplies used.  The $20.00 fee must be paid in full when the registration form is returned.  You will be responsible for providing one snack for the classroom.

There will be two sessions:
Session A - Monday and Tuesday from 9:15 - 10:40
