RCS Pre-K Calendar 2022-2023

There is a $75 non-refundable registration fee for each child. Tuition is set as an annual cost. We divide the total annual cost into equal payments for all programs so that families have a consistent invoice. This provides balance over the year rather than a large invoice for months with five weeks and a different invoice in months where there are only two weeks of school.

Pre-K 3,  Pre-K 4, and Blended

Parents must notify the school if a child has a communicable disease or an extended illness. When applicable, the school will notify families of an illness. A doctor's note for treatment of a communicable disease or an extended illness may be required for re-admittance to school. 

In the event of an extended vacation you have two options:

• Continue to pay tuition so as to ensure your child's spot in the class upon your return. 

• Withdraw the child from the program. Per the Withdrawal Policy a 14 day notice is required. If there is space in your child's class when you return, you may register for the same class by calling the office at 248-726-3022.
