Admissions

Greetings!

We extend a warm welcome to you as you learn more about our admission process for the 2025-2026 school year.

To make the right decision regarding an Early Childhood Program for your child, we recommend that you research the school’s background, examine its philosophy, visit the premises, and meet the Director. In doing your research, I hope this website helps you gather information to better understand what LAC Preschool has to offer!
