Prospective Parents Questions

Preschool sessions take place 5 days per week (Monday through Friday) at the following times:

AM Session: 8:25-11:05 a.m.   PM Session: 11:55 a.m.-2:35 p.m.

The 2025-26 Grove Children's Preschool tuition cost is $4,52.50 per month for 10 installments for a total of $4,525. During the registration process, families are required to provide the first-month installment of $452.50 to solidify their spot in our program for the 2025-26 school year.

A blended classroom is comprised of 3 groups of students. Each classroom includes students that receive special education services, students that have qualified through our screening process for our Preschool For All program, and students from the community that pay tuition to attend our program. Additionally, all classes are a combination of 3 and 4-year-old students. We believe that this unique blend of ages and developmental abilities make our classrooms and learning so vibrant for all students.

Our Blended classrooms typically range around 18 students per session. As a result, students are supported by one certified teacher in early childhood education and two instructional assistants per classroom.

It depends. All general education preschool students must turn 3 prior to Sept. 1. This includes both general education preschoolers who pay preschool tuition, as well as preschoolers who have their tuition waived through the Preschool for All grant.

However, preschoolers who have an identified diability and an individual education program (or IEP) are eligible to start at Grove Children's Preschool as soon as they turn 3, even if their third birthday takes place during the school year. For example, if a student turns 3 on Feb. 27, then that student can attend Grove Children's Preschool starting on Feb. 27, as long as the student has an IEP on file and has completed preschool registration.

We love all our teachers so we understand that you do too. All of our teachers are highly trained and we are confident in the education and experience they provide each year to our students, therefore, we do not honor specific teacher requests.

Unfortunately, we are unable to provide transportation for our general education preschoolers at this time.

The District provides transportation for preschoolers with a special education individualized education program (IEP).

We recognize that location requests are often impacted by logistics and transportation on your end. We will do our best to accommodate requests but are unable to guarantee that requests will be granted as we are accommodating roughly 200 students in our program.
