Applications and fees must be hand delivered by an adult to the Preschool office between 8:30 am and 1:00 pm. As a courtesy to current parents, applications for siblings may also be returned at that time. A $120 non-refundable registration fee must accompany each application. All returning students are guaranteed a space in the preschool.
New students who are members of St. James UMC may submit their applications during the priority registration period of Tuesday, January 3, 2012 at 8:30 am to Friday January 6, 2012 at 1:00 pm. Applications must be hand delivered by an adult to the preschool office between 8:30 am and 1:00 pm.

Open Registration for other new students is conducted by a lottery system. Applications will be accepted for new students beginning at 8:30 am on Monday, January 9, 2012 through 1:00 pm on Friday, January 13, 2012. An adult must return the registration form in person to the preschool office. Names will be drawn lottery style according to the number of spaces available in the requested class. A waiting list will be established once classes are full. Letters will be mailed to all families who apply in open registration on February 1, 2012. A $120 non-refundable registration fee will be due once a family is notified of an opening and accepted a spot for its child. Parents of children placed on the waiting list will be notified of openings as they occur.
