Milton Early Education Program Lottery Notice

Milton Town Schools District offers community preschool for children 3-5 years old, 3 by September 1, 2013. The on site preschool program is part time with children attending either mornings or afternoons. Children are grouped mainly by age. There is no charge for this preschool and children will be selected through a random lottery. If you are interested in your child attending, please contact Shelley Henson, Carrie Premsagar, or Jennifer Knowles at 893-3215, extension 1425 or shenson@mtsd-vt.org. Please leave your name, address, phone number, child’s name and date of birth. The selection will by a random drawing on April 15. There is no advantage to having been in the lottery prior to April 15. Children currently enrolled in preschool will remain enrolled if desired until age eligible for kindergarten. New children who are selected will remain in the program until kindergarten if desired.

The school district also contracts with several area home child care providers and early education programs for preschool spaces also. Depending on the teacher qualifications at the center or home, parents will receive reduced tuition at those sites. Parents interested in a space with a contracted provider should contact Vicki Patterson or Jen Hayes at the Milton Family Community Center, 893-1457.

Families will be notified by mail if they have a space for the 2013-2014 school year. If your child is selected in the lottery, there will be a mandatory registration at the school on Thursday, May 2 in the afternoon. Children enrolling in the fall will need a copy of their birth certificate, immunization records, proof of residency and a registration form. Details will accompany your notification. The registrar will be available that afternoon for questions and to assist in the enrollment. Parents must make prior arrangements for registration if unable to attend that day. Spaces will be considered declined if we are not contacted for registration by May 2.
