Flexible Enrollment Options
    Core Program - School hours are 9:00 AM to 12:00 Noon, Monday though Friday. Parents may select a three, four or five morning a week program for their child. Our school calendar is similar to that of the Newton Public Schools.

    Enrollment Eligibility - All children who are 3.0 years by August 31st are eligible. PCNS does not discriminate in providing services to children or their families on the basis of race, religion, cultural heritage, political beliefs, marital status or disability.

Tuition
    As a non-profit preschool we strive to offer our program at the most reasonable cost possible. The generosity of Newton Presbyterian Church helps to defray our costs and keep our tuition very competitive with other preschools.

Supplemental Programs
    In conjunction to our core morning program, we offer three programs for additional cost.

    Early Birds - 8:30 to 9:00 AM, on Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Thursdays, for families who appreciate an earlier morning drop-off time. Children join in supervised play in a room adjacent to the nursery school classrooms.

    Extended Day - 12:00 Noon to 2:30 PM on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays. Extended Day is a mix of playtime, parent provided lunch and rest time, followed by a project or a choice of activities.

    Junebugs - For three weeks in June we offer a more informal educational experience, comprised primarily of outdoor activities, water play, and group time. This 9:00 - 12:30 program is available only to PCNS enrolled students.
