Good questions deserve clear answers
Let’s help you
feel at home.
How do I check for an opening?
Use our Check Availability form to tell us what you need. Our team will follow up about the appropriate center and schedule. Submitting the form does not reserve a space.
Where are your centers?
We have centers at 119 Oxford St. N. in Auburn; 70 Winslow Ave, Door 15 in Leicester; and Children’s Corner Preschool at 16 Laurier St. in Worcester.
How much is tuition?
Use our tuition estimator to compare weekly rates by age group, days, and schedule. Rates are based on the September 2026 tuition sheet. We offer a 10% discount for every enrolled sibling and a 10% Leicester town employee discount. Discounts cannot be combined. Extended hours are not offered. Your center will confirm program availability and schedule details.
Can I visit before enrolling?
Yes. Choose your center on our tour page to see available tour times. If no times are posted, contact us and we’ll help arrange a visit.
Which age groups and hours are offered?
Auburn serves infants and toddlers. Leicester serves infants, toddlers, and preschoolers. Worcester Preschool serves preschool-age children only. All three centers are open Monday–Friday, 7:30 a.m.–5:30 p.m., with scheduled closures. Contact your preferred center to confirm age eligibility and an available schedule for your child.
How do families communicate with the center?
We use Brightwheel for parent communication and day-to-day administration. Your center will help you get connected.
Where do I find enrollment forms?
Choose your center in Parent Resources. Your center will guide you through the current enrollment requirements and tell you how to return completed documents.
Can I ask about child care assistance?
Yes. Contact your preferred center to discuss payment arrangements and whether it can accommodate your child care assistance program.
Is tuition adjusted for absences or holidays?
Tuition reserves your scheduled space. It is not reduced for holidays, professional development, storm or emergency closures, illness, routine absences or vacations unless your Tuition Agreement or funding rules provide otherwise. See the Auburn, Leicester or Worcester Preschool parent handbook (September 2026).
Are meals and snacks provided?
Breakfast and morning and afternoon snacks are provided. Families bring a nutritious lunch unless the center communicates another arrangement. Label food and follow your center’s allergy guidance. Peanuts and seafood are not permitted. See the Auburn, Leicester or Worcester Preschool parent handbook (September 2026).
What should I pack for my child?
Bring at least two labeled changes of clothing, weather-appropriate clothing, and diapers, wipes or toileting supplies as needed; replenish supplies as they are used. For toddlers and preschoolers, include lunch, a labeled drink container and rest items requested by the classroom. Your center’s handbook has the full packing guidance. See the Auburn, Leicester or Worcester Preschool parent handbook (September 2026).
What feeding supplies do infant families bring?
Infant families at Auburn and Leicester provide labeled breast milk or formula and covered bottles for each feeding. Follow your center’s infant feeding and safe-sleep guidance. Worcester Preschool serves preschool-age children only. See the Auburn, Leicester or Worcester Preschool parent handbook (September 2026).
Does my child need to be toilet trained to enroll?
No. Toilet training is not an enrollment requirement. Families and educators work together around each child’s readiness and supportive routines. See the Auburn, Leicester or Worcester Preschool parent handbook (September 2026).
When is private-pay tuition due?
Private-pay tuition is billed weekly through Brightwheel and is due Monday in advance, unless your written Tuition Agreement sets a different date. Rates depend on your child’s age group and reserved schedule. See the Auburn, Leicester or Worcester Preschool parent handbook (September 2026).
Are there deposits or other enrollment charges?
Your written family agreement explains deposits, credits, discounts and other charges. Ask your center to review these terms with you before enrolling. See the Auburn, Leicester or Worcester Preschool parent handbook (September 2026).
What hours does a half-day or full-day schedule cover?
Your center will confirm the arrival and pickup times included in your schedule. All three centers are open weekdays from 7:30 a.m. to 5:30 p.m., with scheduled closures. Extended hours are not offered. See the Auburn, Leicester or Worcester Preschool parent handbook (September 2026).
