Top Notch,
Long-Term Teaching Staff
The mission of Noah’s Ark Preschool and Childcare is to provide a safe,
developmentally appropriate program for children 3 through 5 years of age through a curriculum that
promotes the intellectual, social, emotional, physical, and spiritual growth of each child.
Noah’s Ark is licensed by the Minnesota Department of Human services and is
both
NAEYC accredited and has a 4 Star Parent Aware Rating (the highest available).
Our teaching staff remains consistent from year to year. Each of our lead teachers have been on staff for
10-20+ years. They continue to teach at Noah's Ark year after year.
Our teaching staff attends professional development trainings yearly that provide preschool instructional strategies supported
by the newest research for preschool aged
children.
Tuition - Competitive Rates
At Noah’s Ark, we strive to keep our
tuition less than local school districts
that offer similar services.
Therefore, this year we will not increase any
of our fees, even though school district before/after care rates have
increased.
And,
School district monthly rates do not include days
that the district does not have school (NSD). At $45.50/NSD (if you
pre-registered for it), that is another $91 per month (Full-Day M-F).
Before/After Care
for enrolled children
Noah’s Ark charges per hour ($5.50)
so you pay for only what you need. This saves you big time over 189 preschool days!!
If you just need 1 extra hour in the morning and again in the afternoon, you save $11.50 per school day compared to $22.50 for the school district. This saves you
over $3,300
per child for a Noah’s Ark Preschool year!
Free Sibling Before/After School Care
Over $4,000 per child! How’s that for big time savings?
If you have a child enrolled at Noah’s Ark, that child’s siblings can attend our School Aged Before and/or After Care program AND catch the school bus for
No Cost!
However, a small registration fee is required! Small fee
(essentially ~$4.50/hour) for those without
an enrolled sibling.
Free Food
Noah’s Ark does not charge extra for
milk or juice, meals, and snacks. We spend over $4 (per child) each day to provide a breakfast,
catered lunch, and an afternoon snack. That translates into $84 per month.
While free school
lunches for all students is a great idea; right now, unless you qualify,
lunches will cost parents extra money.
To summarize
School District Preschool Tuition cost:
Wow!
23-24 NSD costs are $91-130 & $84
So
much hidden cost!
And, that does not include before/after care
where they think
"one rate, fits
everyone's need!
Noah's Ark provides before/after care where you
"only pay for what you need."
