    When you have more than one child enrolled five days full-time in the Preschool, there is a 10% discount applied to 2nd or 3rd child enrolled (the discount is taken from the lower rate). When you also have a child enrolled in Christ Lutheran School K-8, there is a $50 discount.


    There is no credit, discount, or reimbursement given for missed, sick days, or vacation.

  • Schedule Adjustments

    A two-week written notice is required for any of the following schedule requests and is then still subject to availability (schedule adjustments do not apply to changes due to personal choice such as vacation).


    Additional hours may be added to the part-time schedule. The charge for extra hours is $10 per hour. If you need this on a consistent weekly basis, the preschool office will calculate a monthly fee for you. Occasional use of additional hours may also be arranged for your child. We ask for a one-week notice to enable us to accommodate your request.


    You have the opportunity for your child to stay now and then for the lunch hour (Lunch Bunch 12:00 pm - 1:00 pm). You will need to provide a sack lunch for your child. We need at least a one-day notice. Lunch bunch and additional hours are granted only if there is space to stay within the required adult/child ratio.


    Tuition payments are due on the 20th of each month. Any payments received after the last day of the month will be assessed a late fee of $25 or 5%, whichever is greater. A fee of $25 will be assessed for returned checks. The summer program is a separate weekly charge.


    Our center closes at 5:30 pm daily to ensure the well-being of our students and staff. In the event of late pick up, a fee structure is in place to cover additional staffing costs. A $40.00 late fee will apply if pick up occurs after 5:30 pm, followed by a $1.00 per minute charge thereafter. Subsequent late pick ups will incur a $60.00 late fee initially, escalating to $80.00 for subsequent instances. It's our sincere hope to avoid disruptions to our center's operations and to uphold the quality of care for all students. Your cooperation in adhering to pick up times is greatly appreciated, as repeated tardiness may impact the student's enrollment at Christ Lutheran Preschool.

  • Extended School Care

    The Extended School Care (ESC) program is an integral part of the mission and ministry of Christ Lutheran School. It serves a vital purpose, providing a safe, secure environment for children who arrive before and/or remain after the regular school day. ESC provides quality care that promotes each child’s basic needs through nurturing staff members and a planned environment. The setting is semi-structured and informal, designed to help children grow in Christ and in their relationship with each other and their families. ESC is open to all children of Christ Lutheran School from kindergarten through the eighth grade. The program offers before-school care beginning at 7:00 am and after-school care until 5:30 pm.


    On 12:30 release days, students enrolled in ESC will meet at 12:30 pm in the ESC room. 


    The fees are based on an hourly rate, to the closest quarter hour. The rate is $8.00 per student per hour or $12.00 per family per hour and will be billed each month. Our center closes at 5:30 p.m. daily to ensure the well-being of our students and staff. In the event of late pick up, a fee structure is in place to cover additional staffing costs. A $40.00 late fee will apply if pick up occurs after 5:30 pm, followed by a $1.00 per minute charge thereafter. Subsequent late pickups will incur a $60.00 late fee initially, escalating to $80.00 for subsequent instances. It's our sincere hope to avoid disruptions to ESC’s operations and to uphold the quality of care for all students. Your cooperation in adhering to pick up times is greatly appreciated, as repeated tardiness may impact the student's participation in ESC. All late ESC payments will be assessed with a $25.00 late fee or 5%, whichever is greater.
