More details about 2023-2024 tuition

Our Forest Preschool qualifies for Act 166 Universal Pre-K funding.
Other financial support may be available.

Your initial $350 deposit is non-refundable after May 1st. This is a security deposit that will be held in case of withdrawal from the program, and will be applied towards the final installment(s) of the FPS tuition at the end of the school year.

If you choose to withdraw your child from this program, you must notify us in writing of your intent to withdraw at least 30 days prior to your intended withdrawal date. You will be responsible for up to 2 full months of tuition following this withdrawal date, or until your child’s space is filled from our wait list (whichever comes first). Your $350 deposit will be applied towards any tuition owed post-withdrawal. We will do our best to promptly fill your child’s space in our program and provide a partial refund, but this cannot be guaranteed.

Please note that it is very difficult for us to accommodate requests to change days.  Withdrawals resulting from requests that cannot be accommodated will be treated as any other withdrawal from the program.

COVID-19 Cancellations: NBNC aims to be as safe and flexible as possible in navigating the continuing pandemic. In the event that NBNC Forest Preschool needs to suspend the school year as a result of COVID-19, NBNC will revise our tuition policies based on the circumstances at the time. Brief closures related to staff or student health and safety may or may not affect tuition.

• We are glad you are interested in NBNC’s Forest Preschool! Our program is in high demand, and we want to make it clear that we have very few openings each year. We prioritize returning students, siblings, and staff children, then we fill the remaining spaces from our waitlist on a first-come-first-served basis. 
• We maintain waitlists for each school year, and you can join the waitlist for multiple years. We charge a fee of $50 for managing your waitlist spot(s). If you are interested in more than one year, you will need to complete a separate application for each year, but you will only be charged one application fee. We may close or pause the waitlist for a given year if the list gets too long.  
• We will update you once a year via email, typically in November, with  your waitlist position for the upcoming school years and to confirm that you’d like to stay on the waitlist. This notification will require your response.
• In January, if there is an open spot for your child the following school year, we will reach out for a family conversation and invite you for a visit. If we feel your child would be a good fit for Forest Preschool, we will invite you to register.
