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 beginning in January for the following year, and admission is on a first come, first served basis. We will accept registrations as long as we have openings, and we maintain a waiting list to fill vacancies.

Financial Assistance
Aldrich is pleased to offer financial assistance for two- and three-day programs to those families that qualify. Priority is given to children who are four or five by September 1st. Applicants must also determine their eligibility for Families First Pathways Early Learning Scholarship.
The Aldrich Scholarship Fund can take into account several factors that other scholarships often don’t, such as (but not limited to) medical debt, school loans and other extenuating circumstances. We encourage all families that are concerned about preschool cost to apply for our Aldrich Scholarship.
Aldrich scholarships are made available through fundraising events held each year and donations toward financial assistance.
