Enrollment Process
Choosing between preschools is a daunting task! We’d like to help make it a little easier for your family.
Application
Our process is straightforward. If you’re interested in joining the PCC family, you can start by filling out an application for enrollment. Once your application is filled out it can be submitted online or by mail, along with a non-refundable application fee of $50 ($60 for twins, $75 for triplets). Please make checks payable to PCC or complete payment online via PayPal with an additional, three dollar ($4 for twins, $5 for triplets), service fee. If you choose to pay online, please customize the payment amount to $53 ($64 for twins, $80 for triplets) and add your child’s full name in the “notes” section.
Applications are ordered as they are submitted and children are admitted according to availability in each age group. If a class is full, your application will be added to our waitlist in accordance with the order in which it was submitted. Enrollment priority is given to siblings of current and former PCC students and to parishioners of The Chapel of the Cross, in that order.
Any child will be accepted without regard to race, sex or religion. A child entering the two-, three-, or four-year-old class must turn that age on or before August 31st of that school year in order to enroll. The determination of whether or not a child with special needs will be admitted to the Preschool will be made on an individual basis by the Director, in consultation with the child’s parents, the child’s physician, and appropriate Preschool personnel. An effort is made to maintain ethnic, gender and economic diversity throughout our school.
For additional questions, please contact our Vice President of Enrollment.
