🌟 Attention Incoming Preschool Families! 🌟

If your child will be joining our preschool program, we encourage you to take advantage of Act 166, Vermont’s tuition program that helps cover the cost of early childhood education. This is a wonderful opportunity to support your child’s learning while easing the financial burden for families.

Be sure to explore your options and apply if you’re eligible—don’t miss out on this valuable benefit! If you have any questions, feel free to reach out. We’re happy to help! 😊

St. Monica-St. Michael School is an Act 166 Prequalified Preschool Provider. What does this mean?

Act 166 is Vermont’s universal prekindergarten law, providing 10 hours per week of publicly funded, high-quality preK for 35 weeks annually for 3- to 5-year-old children. What defines Vermont Universal Prekindergarten Education is the implementation of high-quality, effective instruction by licensed educators who use evidence-based practices within intentionally designed early learning environments. Early educators align curriculum with the Vermont Early Learning Standards while adapting experiences to support the full participation of each and every child to realize their full potential and promote successful outcomes. If your child is going to attend a prequalified program in the community, you will need to enroll both with the community provider and with your school district. This will ensure tuition funding for your child’s 10 hours is sent to St. Monica-St. Michael School. Tuition funding for the 2026/2027 school year is $4,106.
