Admissions
Thank you for considering Oakhurst Cooperative Preschool
We accept children aged two to four years for classes two, three or five days per week. Students must be age 2 by September 1 of the year they enter. We are a half-day program. Our school hours are 9am – 12:45pm.
In making admissions decisions, we strive for an ethnically, culturally, and economically diverse community that is united in its commitment to parent involvement in our children’s learning, growth, and development. We attempt to build a community that takes advantage of the wide range of strengths, experiences, and backgrounds that families can bring to our school, and that also reflects the wider community surrounding our school–all with the goal of creating an interesting and stimulating environment for our children.

Financial Assistance
Oakhurst Cooperative Preschool (OCP) is committed to offering a supportive and welcoming school community. Currently we offer financial assistance through our Tuition Assistance Program (TAP). The TAP provides annual tuition assistance for an ongoing need.
The TAP strives to enhance diversity by assisting economically less-advantaged OCP families with their co-op tuition requirements.
TAP Application and Award Process Overview
1. Read Section 1.1 – Program eligibility and administration.
2. Contact the Director ( president@oakhurstcoop.com ) to receive a copy of the TAP application, or download it from our website. Current members can download it from ParentSquare.
3. All applications for the TAP are due at the time of application for enrollment for new families, and the time of re-enrollment for returning families. A TAP application must include the following:
-
A completed TAP application form. To maintain confidentiality, all documents should be presented in a large sealed envelope;
-
A letter from the applicant requesting Tuition Assistance that provides further contextual support as referenced in the TAP application, or see Item 2.1 above; and
-
A copy of the family’s most recent Federal Tax Return.
4. For new families, TAP applications are considered separately from the admissions process.
5. Award notifications are sent the same week as acceptance of enrollment to the school. The allocation of funds will be made in a manner that allows the greatest benefit to the largest number of applicants. No single award will exceed 40% of the total tuition amount.
