New Student Registration (Enroll)

Preschool Registration

Preschool registration begins February 4, 2026, and is done on a first-come, first-served basis. Preschool meets two full days a week, either Monday/Wednesday or Tuesday/Thursday, and follows the MFCSD calendar.

The MFCSD preschool program is partially funded through an Early Childhood Education grant from the State of Ohio. Students whose parents meet the income requirements of the grant attend preschool free of charge. Tuition for those parents who do not meet the guidance of the grant is $900 for the school year.  This can be prorated to $100 per month, September through May.


If you are interested in registering a student for preschool, please contact Sue Ferrelli at 740-633-1732 ext.6 or email at sue.ferrelli@mfcsd.org for more information.
