Enrollment The program runs on a September -‐ May schedule. Early admission for the next year is offered to FBC members and families of currently enrolled students. General admission to the public opens in February. Once general registration opens, all applications are accepted on a first-‐received basis. A non-‐refundable $65 registration fee must accompany application forms. Legal proof of birth must be presented for witness in the office when you return the application. Every child is REQUIRED BY LAW to have a complete physical if he/she has not had one within one year of the beginning of school in September. The enclosed medical form must be signed by your physician and returned to the office prior to the beginning of school. You are responsible for making sure that your child has had the required immunizations. In accordance with state regulations, a child will not be admitted to class unless this form is on file.

Your child will experience a smaller classroom size which provides an opportunity for a more personalized approach to learning. There is an expectation of appropriate and respectful behavior and our team will make every effort to help each child have a successful year. However, if it is determined that your child will not benefit from our Kindergarten program your child may be moved to the preschool program if age and space allow. We will work with your child to learn and grow to their fullest potential. Families will also be given information on how to present your child’s achievement to the public school system. Our team will offer a strong experience, however, admission into first grade is not guaranteed. We are committed to providing a solid foundation to your child’s education built with Christian love and healthy habits.
