  • What does "first month's tuition free" mean?

Effective for the 2013-2014 school year, Preschool at the Creek is pleased to offer the first month (or any remaining portion thereof) of a student’s tuition at no charge, once the registration cost has been paid in full. This means that new and returning students who register before the beginning of the 2013-2014 school year will receive September’s tuition free. Students who register after the beginning of the year will receive – after they have paid their registration fee – the tuition for their first full or partial month of attendance free. If you have questions about the policy, please contact us.

In order to achieve these goals we use a variety of curriculums including Hubbard’s Cupboard and A Beka.

First and foremost all preschool teachers will have a love for Christ and children. They will be highly trained in the curriculum and teaching methods appropriate for their age group. All teachers will undergo a background check.

  • What is the registration process?

All students must pay a registration fee at the time of registration. Registration fees will be paid annually. This is a non-refundable fee and is not part of your tuition payment for September of the upcoming school year. These fees will cover operating and supply costs for the school year. Your Registration Fee will be deposited once your child has been offered a space at Preschool at the Creek. If you are not offered a space, your registration fee will not be deposited, but will be held until a space becomes available.

  • How will it be determined what class my child will be placed in?

We will follow the Wake County Public Schools guidelines for determining appropriate ages in a classroom.
