Enrollment and Tuition

We encourage you and your child to join us for our Open House for prospective families. Meet the teachers and spend time in our indoor and outdoor spaces

Contact us to arrange a visit. We look forward to meeting you and your child.

Our visits are scheduled for 1 hour and in small groups so we can spend time with everyone.

Application Details:

• Our application process runs from January 1 to March 10.

  All applications due by March 15th. We notify families of the schedules we have available for them shortly after.

Enrollment Priorities:

• Returning families are enrolled first, followed by siblings and legacies, and then new families.

Schedule Options:

We enroll children for:

• Full days (8:30am to 3:00pm) OR

• Mornings (8:30am to 12:00pm, with pickup before lunch).

• Schedule options ranging from three mornings to four full days.

As we develop our class group, we consider your scheduling requests, the availability of space, as well as the age and gender of your child. We do our best to accommodate all of your requests as we strive to create a well-balanced group. If we are unable to accommodate your child as we create our class list for the upcoming school year, we will contact you and place your child on our waiting list (unless you request that they not be on it). We will contact families to offer a spot for their child at Quarry Hill School as space becomes available. Thank you for your interest and understanding.

Our program is designed for and is most successful for children 3-6 years old. Our expectation is that children will be 3 and toilet-trained when they begin Quarry Hill School. Exceptions are made on a case by case basis, depending on circumstance and available space.

Tuition

Tuition for the academic year is based on 35 weeks of school. Quarry Hill School partners with the local public school districts as an approved Vermont Universal Pre-Kindergarten Program. All children who attend who are 3, 4, or 5 by September 1st receive public funding for 10 hours of preschool each week. Parents/Guardians are responsible for additional tuition. If a child turns 6 during the school year, their PreK funding ends and tuition becomes the responsibility of the family.

2024-2025 tuition rates. Tuition is contracted after we receive your application and a schedule is confirmed. Your deposit is due July 1, 2024 and confirms your child's enrollment at Quarry Hill School. The remaining balance will be 9 equal payments, due the 10th of each month, September 2024 - May 2025. If your family qualifies for VT State Child Care subsidy payments your invoice will reflect tuition support you receive from the state and any remaining balance due.
