Admissions Calendar
Billy Dalwin Preschool is in session from the first week in September through mid-June. All groups gradually transition into their classrooms at the beginning of the school year. Children come in smaller groups and stay for a slightly shorter time during the first week. This is important for children who have been to school before because they are adjusting to new teachers, classmates, routines, and physical spaces. Our primary focus is to provide a program that supports the healthy emotional development of the children.
Education
Average School Day
In the 2024 - 2025 school year, the school day runs from 9:00 am - 1:00 pm or 3:30 pm.
​
There are options for Early Birds (before-school care) from 8:00 am-9:00 am, and Keshet (after-school care) 3:30 pm-5:30 pm.

Before and after-school options coincide with your contracted hours for the year (three, four, or five days) and require a yearly contract.
