Infant-Toddler Room
and Preschool Enrollment

Rosen Family Preschool and the ASL Infant-Toddler Classroom comprise three classrooms: one designated for students aged 0-3, and two classrooms designated for students aged 3-5. (Based on enrollment numbers, the two preschool classes may be combined.)

Parents are welcome to schedule visits to our classroom during our hours of operation. We also encourage you to take advantage of our Family Resource Library!

If your child is determined eligible for Part B/special education services through your home school district and your child’s IEP team has agreed that the best placement is Rosen Family Preschool, the child may begin preschool the day they turn 3 years old.

Our classroom has a limited number of seats, and school district placement must take priority. However, we do welcome children who embody our Bilingual ASL and English approach but who do not qualify for educational placement in Rosen Preschool through their school district.

Open seats are available for private placement, while taking into consideration projections for school district enrollment later in the school year. Private placement admission is determined on a case-by-case basis.

Those students enrolled under school district placement are entitled to free, appropriate public education (FAPE) in Rosen Family Preschool. No tuition rate will be assigned to them. Those students who are enrolled under private placement will be responsible for tuition. Rates will be evaluated once a year. Parents will be informed in spring if there will be a tuition increase the following school year. Additional fees may be charged for field trips or special activities to all students who participate.

Our program is dedicated to serving “mission-appropriate” families. A “mission-appropriate” family is one who demonstrates “goodness of fit” by sharing our values and partnering with us to pursue our mission and vision. We are dedicated to removing barriers to access caused by inequity and ingrained cultural biases. To this end, we seek creative approaches to ensuring accessibility. Families who are not able to afford full private pay tuition can apply for subsidies to cover some or all tuition. Families who do not qualify for subsidies may request tuition assistance from HSDC. Qualification is determined by both goodness of fit with our program and financial need. Funding is limited.

Goodness of fit is determined by an application that screens for these qualifications:

-child is deaf or hard of hearing -family member is deaf or hard of hearing
-family is dedicated to ASL, Deaf Culture and Bilingual Deaf Education
