Questioning the cost of preschool?
According to the Nobel Prize-winning economist James Heckman, investing in high-quality preschool can pay off in the long run. Preschool investments can yield a return of $14 for every dollar invested. This is because children who attend preschool are more likely to become healthier, better educated, and more productive workers.
Because of the demand of our program we have implemented a priority registration process. Registration applications for enrollment, along with a non-refundable registration fee of $100, can be submitted at any time on or after the dates listed below. These applications will be processed in the following order. Registrations for Current and Church Member Families are processed first, then registrations from Alumni Families are processed, and finally registrations from Community Families are processed for spots still available. All families will be notified if they have a spot reserved or if they are added to the waitlist upon registration.
Current and Church Member Families:
Monday, January 6th until Thursday, January 30th
Alumni Families:
Thursday, January 23rd until Thursday, January 30th
Community Families:
Friday, January 31st at 9:00 AM
To enroll for the program, families will need to submit a completed application form for each child along with a check for the enrollment fee. The 2024-2025 non-refundable enrollment fee is $100 per student. Families with more than one child enrolling pay $100 for the family.
A “nest” is a place birds and other animals create to rear their young. It is a snug, sheltered retreat, a place of comfort, protection, and a place to grow. You provide that for your child at home. We at UPC Discovery want to be your child’s second nest in those important formative years.
