Preschool applicants may apply throughout the year as they turn age 3, except in the Montessori programs. Montessori applicants must be age 3 or 4 by September 30, 2008.
Tuition is $2,800 per school year for half-day preschool and $5,400 per school year for full-day preschool.
Tuition is not charged to parents whose income levels qualify them for subsidized preschool programs. Parents must bring proof of income to the school when applying (such as a federal or state income-tax return or current pay stub without overtime).
A child accepted into a magnet preschool may stay in that magnet program for higher grades without reapplying.
Transportation is not provided for preschoolers.
