Application Process
Completing the application does not guarantee placement in the Developmental Preschool. Student placement will be based on program availability as a Peer Model Program.
If the student is accepted to attend the Developmental Preschool at Yelm Community Schools, online monthly payments of $300 are due on the 5th of each month. Past due tuition may result in my child being removed from the program. A deposit equal to one month's tuition will be required once the student is accepted into the program and will be applied towards the first month’s tuition.
Enrollment will remain open until filled.
