  • 3’s preschool is a Community Education program for children 3-4 years of age. The tuition is based on a sliding fee scale starting at $90 for full pay, $60 for reduced pay, and $30 for families that fall under the category of free pay.

School districts offer early childhood education programs like ECFE and Preschool. The goal of both early childhood programs is to help kids enter Kindergarten with the skills and behaviors necessary to be successful in future learning. We call that “School Readiness”.

These programs are located at the BOLD Olivia Campus in the Community Education wing. We offer developmentally appropriate activities and there is strong parent involvement. We are now taking enrollment for next fall.

Please call the classroom for changes in transportation for the day or if your child will be absent, and talk to a teacher. If leaving a message, please mention the date and time so we know the exact date the child will be gone. Thank you.
