To enter school in the fall, children must reach the appropriate age requirement.One-Year Class(PK-1): Child must be at least 12 months but not older than 24 months on September 1.Two-Year Class (PK-2): Child must be at least 2 years by September 1st. Three-Year Class (PK-3): Child must be at least 3 years by September 1st.Four-Year Class (PK-4): Child must be at least 4 years by September 1st. Kindergarten - Must be five by September 1st.

We expect children to be potty trained by the time they enter the PK-3 class, but understand there are exceptions. Please contact us regarding these exceptions.

Parents must submit a current Immunization (3231) form with a doctor's name, address, phone number, and signature PRIOR to the child's first day of school.

Parents must complete all necessary forms, in particular, the Emergency Information and Release Authorization Form prior to the start of school.

 

Registration

Registration begins in January. The application fee covers the cost of registration and supplies and is equal to one month’s tuition. Siblings will receive a 25% discount on the application fee. This fee is non-refundable for all classes. It is payable at the time of registration and must accompany a completed application to reserve a place in class. Checks should be made payable to McDonough Presbyterian Children’s Academy (MPCA).

Tuition

Tuition is payable one month in advance and is due the first of each school month for the following month (i.e., August tuition will be due July 1, with the final payment being April 1). The bookkeeper must receive the tuition by the tenth of the month or a $5.00 late fee will be assessed. Unless tuition and late fees are received before the 30th of the month, your child will be withdrawn from school immediately and will not be able to attend the remainder of the school year. Checks should be made payable to McDonough Presbyterian Children’s Academy. Please do not send cash. A $20 service charge will be assessed on all returned checks. Children are expected to remain the full term, except for doctor’s orders or transfer from the city. We cannot give tuition refunds for days your child is absent.
