Official enrollment applications for Xenia Preschool for the 2026-2027 school year will open this Monday, March 2, 2026.

Parents and guardians looking to give their children a head start on their education at a Gold Award rated Step Up to Quality Preschool are encouraged to submit their paperwork as soon as possible. Space in the program is limited, and families are strongly encouraged to apply early.

To ensure every student is placed appropriately, screening is part of the application process. Spring screening sessions, which are by appointment only, are currently scheduled for March 27 and April 24. Families should note that screening appointments will only be scheduled once a student’s application is fully completed and submitted.

Who is Eligible? 
Children ages 3 – 5 are eligible for Xenia Preschool. Students must be 3 years of age by the first day of the school year to qualify. 

Tuition
Xenia Preschool is partially funded through the Ohio Department of Education. The program is provided free of charge to students with disabilities. Tuition for non-disabled students will be determined using a sliding scale based on household income. The cost of monthly tuition can range from $35 – $140. 

How to Apply
Beginning March 2, families can begin the application online through Final Forms. Families will need to gather required documents to upload to their application, including: birth certificate, proof of residency, proof of custody (if applicable), parent/guardian ID, and immunization records.
