Early Childhood

Thank you for your interest in registering for the 2025-2026 school year. On February 1 at 8 a.m., the Preschool Screening Request Form to express interest in having your child screened for our preschool/pre-kindergarten programs will go live.

All children participate in a play based and developmental screening prior to registration. During the screening, staff members will play with your child and complete a developmental screener. Screenings will be scheduled on a first come, first serve basis. Danielle Foran will contact families to schedule the screening via email based on the date and time the request form was submitted. Further information about registration will be provided after the screenings take place.

Please note that space in our program is very limited. Families not contacted to participate in peer screenings will be placed on our call back list for future openings in the order they completed the Preschool Screening Request Form.

The Cleveland Heights-University Heights Early Childhood Program is a public preschool program licensed by the Ohio Department of Education. Each of our sites has been chosen to partner with Invest In Children’s Universal Pre-Kindergarten Program to deliver high-quality learning experiences to the children and the families we serve. We believe in supporting the growth of the whole child through attention to the development of social and emotional skills, physical development and intellectual growth. We strive not only to provide a solid education foundation for each child, but also instill a love of learning and the confidence necessary to explore our ever-changing world.
