Call now for information about the Fall 2008-09 Pre-kindergarten program
at 480-472-7257 or 480-472-7258.

Community Education's Pre-kindergarten 2008-2009 classes will meet for 32 weeks, 1-1/2 or 2 hours each day -- three or four days each week. This program is geared to prepare your child for Kindergarten in one year or two, depending on the age of your child.

Fall classes will begin September 2, 2008. Children should be 3-1/2 years old by September 1, 2008 (we are flexible).

The Pre-kindergarten program has two major goals: the acquisition of developmental skills (cutting, pasting, tracing, coloring, listening and following directions), and the assessment of academic skills (counting, number sets, name recognition & writing, color, shape, and letter recognition).

Our curriculum also includes: science experiments, manipulation and creative art projects, music and creative drama, large and small muscle coordination and an opportunity to spend time individually with children on specific needs. Small and large group activities are also planned as part of the day. A minimum of 17 children must enroll in order for this program to be placed at a school site.

All sites will offer at least one 2-hour session, with the option of going 3 or 4 days per week. Some sites will also offer a 1-1/2 hour, 3-day session.

FEES Top
Enrollment is based upon the TOTAL amount due. You may pay the total amount or make 9 equal payments (One [1] each month).

Payments for 32-week enrollment:: You must pay the first and last month's tuition in your first payment. Regular equal monthly payments will start in October and continue through April.
NOTE: The monthly payment amount remains the same each month regardless of the number of days attended in the month. (The total cost of the 32-week program is divided by nine equal payments.)

All payments are due the 1st day of each month. After the 5th day of the month, an additional $10.00 late fee will be added. Children will be dropped from the class if payment is not received by the 10th. Any returned check or declined credit card will be assessed a $25.00 NSF fee and all future payments must be made with cash at the Community Education office at 546 N. Stapley Dr.

The amount paid may be used for child care in preparing your income tax return. Please consult with your personal tax advisor to determine the application of this payment.
