Parma Kids Preschool & Child Care Center
Our Goal:
Our Philosophy of Education
We believe all children want to learn and can thrive in a loving, secure environment. We provide a Christian learning classroom that is non-sectarian.
We teach Bible stories and songs about Jesus along with traditional educational teaching such as letters, writing, colors, numbers and shapes throughout the units of study. We also believe children should be given the opportunity to express themselves through art, music, literature and drama.
Center Tours and Enrollment
It is our pleasure to also provide you a tour of our center and answer any questions you may have about our programing. To set up a tour we just ask that you call ahead and someone will be happy to work with your schedule.

- A completed registration form,
- $40 per student registration fee (this $40 registration fee is non-refundable),
- A completed medical form with immunization records and general health information from your child’s doctor.
We are happy to continue working on toilet training needs a child has while in our program. We do ask that you provide the needed supplies for us to do this.
Tuition
The preschool program is tuition-based. The first payment is a double payment for September and June. Tuition is divided into 10 equal payments. Students may choose to attend 1-5 days a week. Tuition is paid monthly and due on the 1st of the month and considered late after the 5th of the month. A $20 late fee is added to the account after the 5th.
We strive to keep tuition as low as possible, so we have multiple fundraiser opportunities for everyone to participate in throughout the year. These fundraiser add the additional funds needed to keep our center thriving.
