Weekday Preschool & Kindergarten

School Year 2026-2027 Registration is open!

 

 

Come join us for our wonderful half day program from 9:00 am-12:00 pm in Bloomington with a lunch bunch option until 1:00 pm. Join us in Bedford from 8:30-11:30am. Weekday Preschool and Kindergarten is a Christian-based program committed to helping children grow spiritually, academically, and socially. We embrace each child where they are developmentally and use daily activities and experiences as teaching moments. We would love to tell you so much more!

Preschool Leadership Changes:

Sherwood Oaks Preschool is preparing for an exciting new school year with an expanded leadership structure designed to support its children, families, and teaching staff. As the preschool has grown, so have the responsibilities involved in leading the school. Beginning this year, leadership will be shared across three focused areas: operations, curriculum and instruction, and infant and toddler care.

Michele Haun will serve as Preschool Director of Operations, overseeing the daily systems and administrative needs of the school. Vanessa Limbrick will serve as Director of Curriculum & Instruction, supporting teachers and helping strengthen the classroom experience. Kelly Pitner will continue as Infant & Toddler Director, providing dedicated leadership for the nursery and toddler programs. Together, they will serve as one unified team committed to excellent, Christ-centered care and education.

We are deeply grateful for Marie’s many years of faithful leadership and for the strong foundation she has helped build. We look forward to seeing how God uses this new leadership team in the season ahead. To learn more about this shift in our preschool leadership, download more information here.

Preschool (2026-2027) Payment

 

A registration/activity fee of $100.00 is due at registration and serves to confirm your child’s placement in a class. This is not a supply fee. It helps to defray our startup classroom preparation costs. Your child’s teacher will give you a short list of supplies to bring in the first weeks of school.

Tuition is due the first week of each month. You will not receive a bill, so your timely payment is kindly appreciated. There is a $5.00 late fee per week if paid after the first week of the month. Payments to be placed in an envelope with child’s name on the front and handed to the director.

The monthly fee schedule is as follows starting with the month of August through the month of April. There will be no tuition payment for the month of May if you pay for August.

  • 4-day (2 and 3 year olds and Pre-K class) $243.00 per month or $2,187.00

Note: Although the number of days in session varies from month to month, the tuition does not vary. Also, snow days that result in unscheduled school closings do not affect tuition. We make every effort to keep your costs reasonable. We feel that the quality of our program and teachers is top notch and salaries must be paid despite closings for bad weather.

We are having an Open House for any new, returning, or potential students on February 18th from 6:30-7:30pm! Make plans to take a tour, meet the Director and teachers, and ask any questions you may have.
