In order to reserve your space in our PreK4 and PreK3 classes for the 2025-2026 school year, we require a $100 non-refundable deposit due at the time of registration. This deposit will ultimately come off your last month's payment.
For the duration of the school year, 10 monthly installments are due at the beginning of each month. Over-payment, or payment in full, will be accepted at any time. Payment must be received by the 5th of every month to avoid late fees. Thirty percent of the total class fees must be received by November 30; 60% received by March 1; 100% due by May 31. Any payments not received on time shall be assessed a late fee of $25 per month until payments are current.
A withdrawal fee equal to the next month's payment will be assessed if the registrant drops out before the end of the school year.
Registrations that take place after the start of the program each year will be prorated to the month they start. From there on, fees shall be assessed on a monthly basis from the month they begin through June.
To register, please download the forms listed on the right. Completed forms should be emailed to recreation@middletownnj.org or mailed to Middletown Preschool, 1 Kings Highway, Middletown NJ 07748.
