	What is the cost of tuition? There is an application fee of $50.00 to register your child. The tuition fee is $137.00 per week for the Full-Day Program and $65.00 per week for the Extended Day-Program. Financial assistance is given to those who demonstrate need. There are no tuition costs for children enrolled in the Abbott Program. Back to top
	What is the Abbott Program, and why is it free? The Abbott Program is a state mandated program to free early childhood education to three and four year olds in certain identified districts. The program was borne as a result of poor school readiness in predominantly low-income populations.

	My child is three, but I cannot enroll him/her into an Abbott Program, why? The Abbott Program requires that a child live in the district in which the child will be attending school, and the child must be three or four years old by October 1st of the school year in which they are enrolling. For example for the 2008-2009 school year which begins September 8, 2008---a child must be three on or before October 1, 2008 to enter the program. Back to top
	What information do I need to register my child? To enroll your child, parents must bring in the Original Child Birth Certificate, Child Immunization Records, (3) Proofs of Residency (dated within 30 days), Proof of Income (4 original pay stubs; TANF Support Letter; Child Support Letter; Unemployment Determination Letter; or Affidavit of No Income), and a current physical (must be dated within a year of enrollment).

	My child does not have a current physical, and her doctor is booked up. Can I still register? Children are able to enter school with a copy of the old physical and up-to-date immunizations, however the parent must have the new physical completed within thirty days otherwise the student will be automatically withdrawn.

	How soon can i register? Is there a waiting list? We accept applications all year-round. Open registration for the following school year is usually done in late February, early March, with familial relatives given first priority. We keep a 'correspondence list' for parents who express their desire to enroll their children in our preschool. However we encourage parents to enroll their child in another school until such time as a spot becomes available. Back to top
