To enroll your child, please visit our facility or contact us to schedule a tour. You will then fill out an enrollment authorization form if you are interested. Once we receive the enrollment authorization form back we will hand you the rest of the enrollment forms we need which include our parent handbook and contract, child information form, emergency contacts and approved pickup form, authorization for non-prescribed medications form, photo and video permission form, and monthly rates and late fees form. Once we receive all the signed forms, signed contract, and payment your child will be able to start the following day.
For preschool or childcare payments we accept ERDC (DHS) as well as checks, cash, and payment through our app Brightwheel. Tuition cost will be discussed during enrollment.
No, we only offer full time enrollment at this time.
At ESPCC we have 3 programs we offer. We have a preschool promise classroom for children ages 3 and 4 enrolled with PSP. You apply directly with their program and if you qualify they pay for your child's preschool. We also have a preschool classroom for children ages 3-5 who do not qualify for PSP and an infants and toddlers classroom which follows a preschool routine as well. You can also apply for Employment Related Day Care (ERDC) which can cover most of the tuition cost for preschool and childcare if you qualify.
