Register at the Y Service Center for the 2019– 2020 by simply paying the $30 registration fee. Preschool tuition is paid monthly and you may wait until the end of August to begin paying these monthly fees. Monthly fees are the total cost of the school-year spread over 9 months, so the fees are the same each month regardless of holidays or days off. Fees may be paid through an automatic bank draft or are due prior to the start of each month.
New families will be invited to meet with the Lead Teacher upon registration.
Y Preschool consists of two age-based classrooms.
Classroom size is limited for both preschools, so we encourage parents to register early.
As with all Y programs, financial assistance for preschool fees is available for families who demonstrate financial need. The application process is simple and quick. You can download an application from the Y’s website at www.marionymca.org or obtain one from the Y service center.
