At the present time, we have three classrooms designated for our Early Childhood program, with a limited number of students allowed per classroom. Class offerings may change depending on the number of students that register for a specific class. Registration information must be completed and submitted - we will not take phone registrations. A confirmation letter will be mailed to you after we receive your registration form and fee. If we have more students register that we have room for prior to the deadline, they will be placed in one of the Early Childhood programs based on the following criteria:- Families currently enrolled in St. Francis Xavier Elementary
- Families belonging to the Spires of Faith Cluster
- Space availability for the program
- Return of registration forms
If programs are not filled by March 4th, all registrations received after that date will be place on a first come first serve basis.
How much is the registration fee?
A non-refundable $50 supply fee is assessed to each preschool child, and/or a $100 registration tuition deposit that is non-refundable per family (K-6th). These fees should be turned into the office by March 1st, 2021.
