OUR MISSION
Foundation Kids Preschool is an extension of the children's ministry of Foundation Church.
We strive to serve not only our own church members but the families of our surrounding community. Our mission is to provide a safe, nurturing, Christ-centered environment where children can learn and grow.
Registration Link is below:
MONDAYS AND WEDNESDAYS, 9AM-2:30PM*
*Optional Early Bird 7:30-8:45 am and/or Late Day 2:30-3:45 pm
2024-2025 tuition & FEES
There is a $150/child enrollment fee that must be paid at the time of registration to guarantee your child's placement. The registration fee is non-refundable and allows us to prepare curriculum supplies and train teachers for the coming school year.
The tuition breakdown is as follows (based on age and/or development as of September 1):
Caterpillars (12m-21m): $220/mo
Butterflies (22m-28m): $220/mo
Sprouts (29m-35m)$210/mo
Seedlings Younger 3's (36m-41m): $210/mo
Saplings Older 3's (42m-47m): $210/mo
Trailblazers (4yr-4.5yr.): $200/mo
Explorers (4.5 yr-5 yr): $200/mo
We cannot accept paper checks unless you are paying upfront for the semester. Monthly tuition must be paid via the automated PayPal invoice sent to your preferred email address.
There is a 10% sibling discount for each additional child. (For example, if you are enrolling a Caterpillar, a Sapling, and an Explorer, you would be invoiced monthly at $220 for the first child, with a discounted rate of $189 for the Sapling, and $180 for the Explorer for a monthly total of $589)
Tuition is invoiced via PayPal on the 1st of each month, with payment considered late after the 5th unless you have made prior arrangements with the Director. Tuition has been averaged out over the year and is therefore collected regardless of the number of educational days per month (Christmas break, spring break, etc.). We cannot offer discounts or refunds for days missed due to illness or bad weather closures. We cannot pro-rate or refund tuition if your child enrolls or withdraws mid-month.
Some families may have need of an extended school day. We offer an optional Early Bird (7:30-8:45 am) or Late Day (2:30-3:45 pm) for an additional $40 per month. For families who require both Early Bird and Late Day, we offer a combo for $60 per month. Occasional/emergency use is $10/day. Sibling discounts do not apply for Early Bird and Late Day.
OUR CLASSES
Foundation Kids offers classes for children aged 12 months through PreK. Children will be placed into classes based on their age and/or development as of September 1st. Occasionally, classes may be combined or divided according to registration numbers.
We adhere to MinistrySafe guidelines of two non-related, trained, and background-checked adults per classroom, which supports excellent class size ratios for a productive, safe, and attentive learning environment. All admin, teachers, and aides are CPR/FirstAid certified.
Our 2024-2025 class breakdown will be:
Caterpillars (12m-21m)--capped at 8 children: $220/mo
Butterflies (22m-28m)--capped at 8/10 children:$220/mo
Sprouts (29m-35m)--capped at 10 children: $210/mo
Seedlings (Young 3's)--capped at 12 children: $210/mo
Saplings (Older 3's.)--capped at 12 children: $210/mo
Trailblazers (4yr-4.5yr)--capped at 14 children: $200/mo
Explorers (4.5yr-5 yr)--capped at 14 children: $210/mo
(Trailblazers and Explorers must be FULLY potty-trained.)
Our curriculum is hands-on, standards-based, and research-based to streamline instruction across age groups. Backed by meticulous research, classroom testing, and organization of standards that build upon learned skills each year, instruction is based in activities and games that incorporate Concept of Word and Word Study instruction. All of these techniques are adapted for preschoolers of all ages to provide a solid foundation for reading and math skills in a way that is fun and developmentally appropriate.
