AM Session: 8:50-11:30 a.m.   PM Session: 12:30-3:10 p.m.

Pending Board approval, the 2023-24 Grove Children's Preschool tuition cost is $410.90 per month for 10 installments for a total of $4,109. During the registration process, families are required to provide the first-month installment of $410.90 to solidify their spot in our program for the 2023-24 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.

To be eligible to participate in Grove Children’s Preschool as a community student, a child must turn 3 prior to September 1st.

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 community students at this time.

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.
