District 79 preschool program:

Fremont Elementary District 79 is encouraging parents to register early for its new tuition-based preschool program for fall 2015. Fremont tested a paid preschool program last year and is now offering the program to Fremont families. The cost is $3,500 per year without transportation and $3,750 with transportation. District 79's tuition-based program would run 2.5 hours a day, 5 days a week, and would follow the district's 2015-16 school calendar. This program allows certified staffers to prepare students for the Fremont kindergarten program. It also allows qualified staff to identify strengths and areas of need for children at the earliest age possible.
