students of any race, color, national and ethnic origin to all the rights,
privileges, programs and activities generally accorded or made available to

Our complete handbook
with registration forms is available here
(3.5 MB), or the registration form alone is available for download
above, or both can be mailed by request anytime. Our policy is to
give first preference to current families, next to alumni, and then to the
general public. A
typical registration schedule would be:
- December
15: Current families
are notified, and handbooks and registration forms are distributed.
- January
2: Registration for
current families opens. One-half of the registration fee is due
to retain a space. Preference is given to current families until
the opening day of registration.
- January
15: Registration opens
to the alumni, members of the Good Shepherd congregation, and the
general public. Forms from alumni and members of the Good
Shepherd congregation with full registration fees received on or before
this date have priority over those of the general public, and are
prioritized according to the date received. On this one day
only, alumni and Good Shepherd member forms/fees received have
priority over those current families.
- January
16: All forms/fees
received are awarded spaces on a first come/first served basis (no
preferences to alumni, Good Shepherd members and current families).

Cleaning
Stipends
“Cleaning Stipends” are available
as a way to reduce tuition costs by cleaning the preschool on a regular
basis throughout the year. There is a tuition rebate of $15.00 per
cleaning which takes approximately 1½ hours. Please indicate your
interest on the registration form. These work stipends are awarded by
lottery or by alternating schedules, depending on the number of families
interested. Often some form of payment plan can be arranged once a
need is identified. Please alert the registrar or treasurer.
Financial
Scholarship
We at Good Shepherd Preschool
understand that the expense of preschool may be a strain on a family’s
budget, and helping eligible families reduce their cost through
scholarships is an important part of our program. We also strive to keep our tuition as low
as possible while continuing to provide a high-quality preschool program.
Scholarships are available for both
the 2-day and the 3-day classes. Any
scholarship awarded could provide up to 50% of the total tuition cost, with
the family being expected to provide the remainder. Tuition payments will be due on the dates
outlined in the preschool parent handbook.
Scholarships will be awarded based
upon need. Applications will be
received by the preschool treasurer, who will then submit anonymous versions
of the applications to the scholarship committee for review. All personal financial documents provided
will be shredded after the scholarships are awarded.
If you would like to apply, please
complete the application found via the links below and submit it along with
the documents requested. The
application can either be dropped in the mailbox of the preschool Treasurer
at the preschool itself, or mailed to:
Good
Shepherd Preschool
Attn:
Scholarship Application
P.O.
Box 495
Jericho,
VT 05465
Any family awarded a scholarship
will be notified before the start of the school year. If you have any further questions, please
contact the Board Chair, Derek Burkins, at 899-5487.
