About Preschool 2022-23 Enrollment

ENROLLMENT FOR 2022-2023 SCHOOL YEAR 

Our small, multi-age group lends itself to a close-knit learning community. Class size is 13 children, ages 2 (by Sept. 1, 2022) to 4 years old, with three teachers. Applications are accepted and processed on a first-come, first-served basis with consideration given to a balanced distribution of age, development, and personal needs. First BHA Members may enroll. Next, current students get priority. After that, siblings of alumnae are invited to enroll, followed by students on our waiting list.

We ask parents who are enrolling a child who is new to BHA Preschool to review and complete the Criteria for Participation checklist for their child upon registration. Then we will make a time to talk by phone and schedule visit for you and your child. This visit is an opportunity for teachers and an incoming student to grow familiar with one another. 

Is your child ready for preschool? Here is our criteria for participation in the BHA Preschool.

We are fully enrolled for 2022-23 at BHA Preschool. If you are interested in enrolling should a space open up or for the following year, please join the waitlist.

TUITION (2022-2023 School Year)
