Before you enroll

Choosing a preschool or pre-K in St Albans

  1. 1

    Ask about the day

  2. 2

    Half day or full day

    Many preschools run half days or school-year hours. If you work full time, ask about before- and after-care.

  3. 3

    Ask about cost

    Ask for the tuition, the registration fee and whether the state's pre-K or child care assistance can pay part of it.

  4. 4

    Check the license record

    Open a listing for its state license, the ages it serves and, where the state publishes it, the inspection record.

Questions

Questions

How many preschools and pre-K programs are in St Albans?

22 preschools and pre-K programs are listed in St Albans. A daycare without this tag may still run a preschool room; ask.

What is the difference between preschool and pre-K?

Pre-K is the year before kindergarten, usually for 4-year-olds, and many states fund free or low-cost pre-K. Preschool is the wider term for programs for children of about 3 to 5. Many daycares run both, and this list has both.

Is there free pre-K in Vermont?

Yes. Vermont runs Universal Prekindergarten (UPK), Act 166, for 3-, 4- and 5-year-olds not yet in kindergarten. It is free for 10 hours a week, 35 weeks a year. Contact your school district of residence; for a public-school program the school handles enrollment, and for a prequalified community program enroll with both the provider and the school district.

What age is pre-K?

Pre-K is usually for children who turn 4 by a cutoff date in late summer or early fall, the year before kindergarten. Each state sets its own cutoff.

What is the difference between preschool and daycare?

A preschool teaches children of about 3 to 5 before kindergarten, often for part of the day. A daycare looks after children while parents work, often all day, and many daycares run a preschool room. This list has both: places whose state record serves preschool-age children, that offer pre-K on their own website, or that are named a preschool.

Are these daycares licensed in Vermont?

Every listing here comes from the Vermont child care license records.
