About Preschool 2023-24 Enrollment

ENROLLMENT FOR 2023-24 SCHOOL YEAR 

Our small, multi-age group lends itself to a close-knit learning community. 

Our regular program runs Tuesdays through Fridays from 9:00 am until 11:55 am. A group of 13 students are enrolled for all four days of the week, will three teachers. 

Of these students, 8-9 children may also participate in BHA Preschool on Mondays, with two teachers.

Children in our program must be two years old by Sept. 1, 2023 to 4 years old.

Registration forms are processed on a first-come, first-served basis with consideration given to a balanced distribution of age, development, and personal needs. BHA Members receive priority when enrolling for available spots.

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. Once you enroll, we make a time to talk by phone and schedule a 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.
