Registration for fall classes begins in April. Classes fill on a first come first served basis, with priority for enrollment given to current and past members. Class size is limited in order to preserve the student-to-teacher ratio (9:1 for 4-5 year old program; 8:1 for 3-4year old program). There are two teachers for each class. Class size is limited to 18 students for the 4-5 year olds, and 16 students for the 3-4 year olds.
Children may be enrolled in either morning or afternoon sessions. The classes for 4-5 year old children run Monday, Wednesday, and Friday (morning or afternoon), and the classes for 3-4 year old children run Tuesday and Thursday (morning or afternoon). MTU Preschool strives to accommodate children who are enrolled in other childcare programs.
