Preschool Enrollment & Tuition

About the Enrollment Process

The Geneva Early Learning Program is a five-day per week, tuition-based preschool program for residents of Geneva Community School Disctrict 304. Our students attend Monday-Friday. The morning session for 3-year-olds meets 9:00 -11:30 a.m., and the afternoon session for 4-year-olds meets 12:30-3:00 p.m. Please click here to learn more about our programs.

Preschool enrollment is open for the current and upcoming school years upon the child's 3rd birthday. The enrollment process is completed online only.

Spots will be reserved on a first-come, first-served basis, based upon your completion of the Online Enrollment Form. Due to limited availability, applications received after the program has reached capacity will be automatically added to a waiting list, and applicants will be notified via email. Once on the waiting list, you also will be notified if a space opens up in the Geneva Early Learning Program.
