Admissions Calendar
Billy Dalwin Preschool is in session from the first week in September through mid-June. All groups gradually transition into their classrooms at the beginning of the school year. Children come in smaller groups and stay for a slightly shorter time during the first week. This is important for children who have been to school before because they are adjusting to new teachers, classmates, routines, and physical spaces. Our primary focus is to provide a program that supports the healthy emotional development of the children.
Education
Average School Day
In the 2024 - 2025 school year, the school day runs from 9:00 am - 1:00 pm or 3:30 pm.
There are options for Early Birds (before-school care) from 8:00 am-9:00 am, and Keshet (after-school care) 3:30 pm-5:30 pm.
Spaces in Early Birds and Keshet are limited and assigned on a first come basis.
Before and after-school options coincide with your contracted hours for the year (three, four, or five days) and require a yearly contract.

Toddler & Preschool:
We offer three, four and five-day options for toddler and preschool-aged children ages 18 months to four years old on or before September 1 of each school year.

Summer Program

Summer registration is open December 1st of each year and requires a one-week deposit with enrollment.
