Early Childhood Class & Childcare Registration Information
Kings Early Childhood Center is part of the Kings Local School District and follows the district's calendar. For the 2023-2024 school year, all classes and childcare will be closed when the district is closed.
Class and Tuition Changes for the 2023-2024 School Year
Due to very low enrollment numbers over the past several years, Kings will no longer offer a two-day class option. We will continue offering our 4 day classes and a young 5s class.
Tuition Prices for - 2023-2024
4 Day Multi-Age Class = $3705
Childcare may be added for an additional fee.
Monday through Thursday is $40 per day.
You may add a full day of childcare on Fridays for $50.
5 Day Class (4 & 5 year olds only) = $3900
Childcare may be added for an additional fee.
Childcare for children attending the 5 Day class is an additional $40 per day.
The tuition can be broken down into a weekly payment option. This request can be made in the registration packet. Weekly installments are $95 per week for 4 day classes, and $100 per week for the Young 5s class. Registration will open up to all current families on Monday, January 9th.
Your current yearly tuition is broken down into weekly billing cycles. You may choose to pay your entire yearly tuition rate, or you may pay in weekly installments. Below is the statement from the parent handbook:
Parents are expected to accept the financial commitment for the entire duration of the school year program. Preschool operates on the same schedule as Kings Local Schools and observes the same holidays. Regular tuition will be paid during Thanksgiving Break, Winter Break, and Spring Break.
Tuition is calculated for the entire school year based on the programs you choose. For your convenience, your yearly tuition is broken down into weekly payments. Your weekly payment is due every Monday, unless paid in advance. Tuition not received by Wednesday of that week will be considered past due and assessed a late fee of $10.00 for each week tuition is not paid. However, two weeks unpaid tuition could result in dismissal from the program. Withdrawal from the program requires a two week paid written notice to be submitted to the preschool office.
Kindergarten Information Night- Parents Only
Kindergarten registration begins in March. You will register your child on the district's website using a Final Forms link.
