Prairie Flower Preschool & Kindergarten Enrollment Process

Picture
Steps in the enrollment process for school-year enrollment: 

1). Get to know us: Peruse our website and email us at 
[email protected] with any further questions.  

2). Attend an Open House or Schedule a Visit: Watch our Facebook page for when Open Houses happen each spring. Or, if you can't make one, email [email protected] if you'd like to schedule a visit to observe the preschool and meet with the center director.


3). Apply: Complete an Expression of Interest form. Enrollment is open for the 2025-26 school year! Apply as soon as possible for first priority consideration. We will follow up with you about whether there is a spot for your child in the fall, or whether they are on the waiting list. Mid-year enrollment is sometimes possible, depending on if there is space.
Note that we use Brightwheel for forms and for communication with families. You will be prompted to create a Brightwheel account if you do not have one already.

4). Confirm and pay: A $125 enrollment fee and full registration paperwork are due before your child's first day of enrollment. This fee will be sent via Brightwheel.​​
