Preschool Enrollment

2011/2012 Enrollment

Tuition
Our tuition is based on an annual rate and is broken down into 9 monthly installments. Each installment is due on the first of each month, September through May. Enrollment at Los Altos Christian Preschool is considered a commitment for the full school year. (When enrolling mid-year, the amount due will be pro-rated, based on a per day rate for the year.) A deposit, equal to one-half month's tuition installment, will be due at time of enrollment, and can be applied toward the last tuition installment or refunded with 30 days written notice.  All fees, (application and registration) as well as first tuition installment, are non-refundable.
 
Application Process
We require that all new students submit an application. Applications must be accompanied by a $50.00 non-refundable application fee. Applications for new students are accepted anytime throughout the year and are good for one year from date of acceptance.  Early application is strongly recommended as space is limited.  
 
Visiting our School
Tours of our school are by appointment only.  For the safety of all our students, visitors must be chaperoned by LACP staff therefore drop-in visits are discouraged. When you visit our school, you’ll be given a brief classroom observation with the age group you have indicated that you are interested in. The observation period will be followed by a group consultation with our director with ample time for questions.  To gain a good understanding of our preschool program, our tours begin promptly at 9:30am, and generally last approximately 30 minutes.  Our scheduled tour dates for 2011/2012 are on the following dates:  September 14, October 5, November 2, November 8, December 7, January 11, January 25, February 8, February 27, March 21, April 18, and May 16.  If you’re unable to attend one of our scheduled tour dates please contact the school office and we’ll try to accommodate you on another day as we’re able to. 
 
Priority Enrollment
All Los Altos Christian Schools families as well as Bridges Community Church families qualify for priority enrollment during the month of January. For families in this category you may apply and enroll at the same time.
 
Standard Enrollment
New students, or those not affiliated with Los Altos Christian Schools or Bridges Community Church, will be enrolled on a first come, first served basis based on the date the application was received.  Open enrollment begins February 1st.
