Program Details:
Fox River Grove School District 3 is excited to announce the opening of a blended preschool program for students ages three through five at Algonquin Road School in the 2025-2026 school year. A blended preschool program provides students with instruction to aid in development and exposure to pre-academic skills. Speech and language, occupational, and physical therapies are an integral part of the blended program for students with an individualized education plan (IEP), whose educational needs warrant such support.
Fox River Grove’s preschool program will be held Monday through Friday. The morning session is typically reserved for three year olds and will run from 9:00-11:15. The afternoon session is typically reserved for four year olds and will run from 12:15-2:30.
Tuition:
Tuition is $2,550.00 annually. A $300.00 deposit is required at the time of registration. The remaining balance is broken into three payments of $750.00.
Registration:
You must be a resident of Fox River Grove School District 3. Proof of residency will be required to complete registration.
The first step is applying to our program by completing our application. There are a limited number of tuition slots within our preschool program. As a result, parents/guardians will be able to submit their preschooler’s online application beginning on January 21, 2025 and closing on March 14, 2025. The link to the application will be available on January 21, 2025.
All applications received between January 21, 2025 and March 14, 2025 will be included in a lottery. The names of the students will be pulled one at a time and entered on a list until all of the names have been drawn. The first names drawn will be contacted regarding the available tuition slots during the week of March 17, 2025 via email. When someone declines, the next person on the list will be contacted until all slots are filled. At that point, the remaining names will be considered the students on the waitlist. We will continue to take applications after March 14, 2025 and add them to the wait list in the order they are received.
Once your child is accepted to the preschool program, the parent/guardian has until April 18, 2025 to complete the online registration (link will be provided when notified of placement), prove residency, and pay the $300.00 deposit. If the parent/guardian does not complete these steps, the child’s slot will be lost and the next person on the waitlist will be contacted.
