Talawanda School District Preschool Program Enrollment

The Talawanda School District operates an am and pm preschool classroom at all three elementary school buildings. Classes run Monday thru Thursday. Am class time is  9:30-12:30 and pm class time is 1:15 - 4:15. A snack is provided each day to students. Transportation to and from preschool is not provided by the school district.  Licensed by the State of Ohio, each classroom serves up to 16 students (8 students identified with a disability and 8 typical students). Each classroom is staffed by a licensed preschool teacher and two educational assistants. Preschool tuition is $280 a month due on the first of each month. (Tuition assistance is available to those that qualify.)

Application Process for Preschool  

• Given the high interest in Talawanda’s preschool program, access to the program by tuition-paying families is conducted through a lottery system and subsequent waitlist maintained by the Preschool Coordinator.  Students currently enrolled in the Talawanda preschool program will be given priority registration.
• During the scheduled lottery selection times, student names will be drawn to fill openings created by preschoolers leaving the program.  After all openings are filled, student names will continue to be drawn in order to create a waitlist.  These lists will be used the rest of the school year to identify preschoolers to fill preschool spots that open up during the year.

To qualify for a preschool tuition spot:

• The family must be a resident of the Talawanda School District
• The child must be age three by 8/1/2021.
• The child must be toilet trained at entrance date.
• The completed enrollment packet and first month’s tuition payment must be submitted by April 30, 2021.
• Agree to make payments by date due or risk losing the tuition spot afforded their child. Costs include monthly tuition, school fee, and snack fee.
