Classrooms have low child to adult ratios. In addition, student teachers and volunteers add a lot to the children's classroom experience and allow us to more effectively meet the needs of each child. The preschool began in 1986 under the direction of Kathleen Fry-Miller who currently serves on the Preschool Advisory Committee, along with a preschool parent, a church member, and preschool directors. Each year we have had parents involved in our program as assistant teachers or substitute teachers on both a regular and irregular basis, from once a week to once a year. We know that parents have developed many skills through working with their own and other children.
Parents enjoy being involved in the program and receive a tuition discount.
Parents should apply by June 1 for the next school year. We want the program to be affordable for all families. Scholarship funds have been made available through the Beacon Heights Church. Discounted tuition and full or partial scholarships are available through our scholarship program. First scholarship consideration is given to families that apply by March 15 for the following school year.
