ABC Preschool admissions are based upon the established practices and in accordance with recommendations by the Virginia Department of Education.
All children must be three years of age by September 30th of the school year to register in the preschool program.
No advancement or promotion will occur upon age change during the school year.
All children must be toilet trained prior to admission into the program.
Due to limitations of class size and staffing ratios, there may not be an immediate space for your child in the desired program.
Admissions are allowed on a first come, first served basis. However, a waiting list of those families who desire admission will be maintained by the administrator, and these will be contacted as space becomes available
Registration Guidelines
A completed registration form and payment of a non-refundable registration fee completes the registration process. A copy of the child’s birth certificate and an immunization record must be submitted before the first day of school. Additionally, documentation of physical examination (performed within the year) is required. THIS IS A VIRGINIA STATE BOARD OF HEALTH REQUIREMENT AND CANNOT BE WAIVED.
