LITTLE DISCIPLES PRESCHOOL

Little Disciples Preschool will open Fall 2020 and provide full-day preschool to four year old children. We believe in celebrating the innocence of early learners and encouraging their sense of wonder. Little Disciples Preschool will prepare children for their academic journey. The children will learn the culture of school in a structured, inclusive environment and have the opportunity for intellectual, emotional, social and spiritual growth. For your convenience, two dismissal times will be offered, one before rest time as well as the end of the day.

Early registration will run from November 20 – December 20, 2019. All applications received during this time will be prioritized using the Admission Eligibility guidelines listed in the Admission section below. Acceptance letters will be sent to families the week of January 6, 2020.

​Open registration begins January 6, 2020. All applications received during open registration will be granted admission on a first-come, first-served basis.
