District 54 parent-paid preschool still accepting registrations for the 2012-13 school year

School District 54 is still accepting registrations for its parent-paid preschool programs at Collins and Aldrin elementary schools for the 2012-13 school year.

The District 54 Parent Paid Preschool Program serves children ages 3 to 5 who are progressing at a rate typical for their age. Classes are taught by state-certified, highly-qualified teachers. Preschool students have the opportunity to participate in schoolwide events and often partner with older classes.

The cost is $120 per month for two days a week; $180 per month for three days; and $300 per month for all five days. Parents can hold their child's place by paying the first month's tuition. Parents must also pay a one-time registration fee of $55 the first time they enroll their child in the program.
