MORNING PRESCHOOL
Fremont Community School is still accepting applications for the 2011-2012 school year. We currently have openings for Friday mornings only. Thank you for your interest in FCS and feel free to contact us with any questions! (updated December 2011)

Tours/Open Houses/Family Meetings:
Tours are available on Friday mornings (no tours in September) from 9:30-10:00am. Space is limited so please contact us in advance. Since it is a very short visit, we encourage you to come without your child (infants are welcome). Open Houses are a chance to come meet staff and visit the school during non-school hours. After we receive your application, we will schedule a family meeting time for you to bring your child and meet with the teachers.

Fremont Community School admits children of any race, color, religion and national or ethnic origin.  It does not discriminate on the basis of sex, race, color, religion, sexual orientation or national / ethnic origin or the presence of any physical, mental or sensory handicap in the administration of its hiring policies, educational policies, admission policies, tuition assistance programs, athletic, and other school administered programs.   Acceptance is made with consideration of gender and age-balanced goals.

Afternoon Program - SCHOOL YEAR
FCS also offers an afternoon child care program during the school year.  This is an hourly program that uses the same facilities and philosophies as the morning program, but is hourly child care, not a preschool with a curriculum. 

Children are legally only allowed to be at FCS for a maximum of four hours per day.  We have a close business relationship with Tara’s Tots, a similar program next door which also offers an afternoon program.  If a child attends FCS in the morning, but needs full day care, they are taken to Tara’s Tots for the afternoon.  They are welcome to attend the FCS afternoon program on days they do not attend the FCS morning program.  The afternoon program is also open to children who are not enrolled in the morning program.  Contact Tara’s Tots directly for their enrollment information – tarastotsinc@gmail.com or by phone at 206.327.9193.
