Aldrich Enrollment & Tuition


Enrollment

We welcome children, ages 2 through 5 years, who are not enrolled in kindergarten.  Children will be placed in a class based on their age as of September 1st of that school year.  Toilet training is not required for any Aldrich class. 

Applicants are accepted throughout the year, and admission is on a first come, first served basis. 
We will accept registrations for the 2011-2012 and 2012-2013 school years as long as we have openings, and we maintain a waiting list to fill vacancies.  Please check with the Aldrich office regarding current openings. 

To enroll your child, we will need three items:
  • Enrollment form (available on the Forms page)
  • Immunization record (available on the Forms page)
  • Enrollment fee ($55 for one child; $60 for two or more children)
State law requires a medical examination prior to school entrance. The healthcare summary is available on the Forms page and must be completed within 30 days of the child's first day of school.

We invite you to make an appointment to tour Aldrich!  A tour is a perfect opportunity to meet some staff members, explore our facility, and learn more about our programs.  To set up a time to talk with our director and visit a classroom, please call the office at 507.289.3097.

Kids Club

Beginning in September 2012, we will offer an afternoon Kids Club!  You can enroll your child for an afternoon extension of preschool from 3:30-5:00 pm.  We hope that many working parents will find this to be a helpful and valuable service. 

Because Kids Club is a new program, we will be monitoring the demand for this afternoon extension.  If there is not enough interest for this class on a certain day(s), we will notify parents of any changes to this program no later than July 31st.

Financial Assistance


Aldrich is pleased to offer financial assistance for families who qualify. Applications for this offering are available upon request at the office. Families with a child enrolled in a 3 or 4/5 year old class may apply. Assistance given is based on financial need and also the needs of the child. These scholarships are made available through a special event held each year as well as donations received throughout the year.  A special Aldrich fund is set up for financial assistance.

In order to be considered for Aldrich's financial assistance program, applications need to be submitted to the school office in July prior to the school year for which the assistance is needed.  Applications submitted at a later date will be considered as funds allow. Other children attend through Child Care Resource and Referral funding.


Withdrawal Policy


If children must withdraw for any reason, a 30-day written notice is required.
