What you need to know about our preschool program.

• Three (3) years old by September 30, 2026

There is a tuition for the preschool program. The cost for the 2026-2027 school year will be $2,200 pending Board Approval on January 20, 2026. Click here to see our FAQ page and all your payment options.

First, you’ll apply for your child to be a part of our preschool program. This application will collect your student’s name, birthdate, and all parent information. A $100 non-refundable deposit is required to hold your child’s spot. This is the first step in the process. 

Enrollment is when you’ll officially place your child as a student in our district. This will take place in March, once enrollment for the entire district opens for the next school year. To enroll, you’ll need supporting documents, like birth certificate, parent ID, proof of residency, etc. You can find a full list of necessary documents below. 

Please see the list below for all the documents required to enroll your child into our preschool program. 

Once you click the enrollment link, you'll be required to create an account if you do not have one. You can see step by step instructions on creating your account and the entire enrollment process in our Online Registration User Guide. 

Preschool enrollment for the 2025-2026 school year is currently closed.

Enrollment appointments for preschool students registering are NOT required.  All of the supporting documents for enrollment must be uploaded with the online enrollment at the time of submission. If you have trouble submitting these documents, they can be emailed to registration@nrcs.net. 

Please note that formal enrollment will not occur until all required documents are received.

If parents are divorced: The parent with legal custody must present a certified copy of the court order awarding legal custody.  If a custody change is pending, the non-custodial parent must present a dated, time-stamped copy of the court filing, showing the motion for the change of custody.  The non-custodial parent is then given 60 days to present a certified copy of the final decree. 

For enrollment, we do require a copy of the child's birth certificate. If born in Ohio, you can get one printed at the Lorain County Public Health Department for $25.
