Pre-School
For future Lake of the Woods school students, there are two “in-school” options for pre-kindergarten school. Please read through these descriptions to see which is the best fit for you and your student and if your student/family qualifies.
School Readiness
Operated and funded through Lake of the Woods School, our School Readiness classroom prioritizes Kindergarten readiness for 4-year-olds. Enrollment is determined on a year-by-year basis, based on a number of factors:
– Number of applications
– Ages of applicants
– Funding opportunities
If your student does not qualify for certain types of funding (based on family income, age, etc.), the school may charge a fee for enrollment. Fee schedule is as follows:
Yearly Gross Family Income | 3 Year Old Preschool | 4 Year Old Preschool |
$75,000+ | $720.00 ($80/month) | $720.00 ($80/month) |
$60,000 – $74,999 | $540.00 ($60/month) | $540.00 ($60/month) |
$40,000 – $59,999 | $360.00 ($40/month) | $360.00 ($40/month) |
$20,000 – 39,999 | $180.00 ($20/month) | $180.00 ($20/month) |
$19,999 or less | $90.00 ($10/month) | $90.00 ($10/month) |
Applications are accepted through June 15 with enrollment being determined by mid-July. To apply, please fill out our enrollment forms found here:
Head Start
Head Start is a federally funded program that is operated by Northwest Community Action, independent from Lake of the Woods School, and runs a classroom in the school building. While NWCA and LW School work closely with each other on enrollment, programming, transportation, etc. they are separate programs.
