For the 2025-2026 school year, the class times will be changed to align with the start and end times for Elementary Schools. 

Morning Class (3-4-year-old students): 7:50 a.m. to 10:35 a.m.
Afternoon Class (4-5-year-old students): 11:35 a.m. to 2:20 p.m.

Students must turn 3 on or before August 31st for the 3-year-old program in the morning.  Students must turn 4 on or before August 31st for the 4-year-old program in the afternoon. The preschool program tuition is $250 per month unless a family qualifies for a reduced price based on their income. Students who qualify for special education services will not be charged tuition. 

To have your child considered for enrollment, please add their information to FUSD's centralized preschool waitlist. Any registration made through ParentVUE without the preschool coordinator's approval will be denied. La lista de espera centralizada para preescolar.
