How to Apply:

In order to make applying for our programs easier for families, we have created one pre-application for all program offerings. Preschool opportunities at the Mary E. Theler Early Learning Center are based on clear parameters set forth by the State and Federal Government. Our goal is to provide early childhood services based on these parameters. Space is limited and not all children who apply will be placed in a program option. Placement into program options are determined through a screening process and not based on family request. All families must complete an application. Applications will be screened based on State and Federal guidelines, and families will be notified of possible placement in mid-August.

Program Offerings:

Although there are different criteria needed to qualify for each of these programs, the staff at the center will join forces to create an inclusionary climate of planned learning activities for children of all abilities to participate in at designated times during the school day as much as possible. 

Limited bus transportation to and from school is provided for the center’s classroom programs. If your child is offered bus service an adult must be present at the bus stop for the ride to school and again to meet the child at the stop on the return trip at the end of the school day.
