Currently enrolled families may register their current student, plus any younger siblings when their enrollment period begins. Remember to register at this time even if your current Pre-K, Jr. Kindergarten, or Kindergarten student is moving on to elementary school.

If a seat opens in an age-appropriate classroom, we will begin offering the available days to the first family on the waitlist. If they pass, we will continue down the list. If you are not offered a seat during the current school year, you are offered the opportunity to enroll for the following summer and/or school year one month after current families, and approximately two weeks before enrollment is offered to the general public. We do suggest you act quickly, as many classrooms fill and some days in your schedule may be unavailable.

Abiding Hope Preschool operates in two sessions: the school year which runs mid-August through May; and summer camp which runs from June through early August.

If you require care for the full calendar year, you do need to register for both the school year and the summer camp. An enrollment form for summer camp as well as an enrollment form for the school year, along with the registration fees, must be completed and submitted.

Abiding Hope Preschool follows the Jefferson County Public Schools Calendar closely with several exceptions. We close for Thanksgiving, Christmas and Spring Breaks, plus the major holidays. We do not have in-service days or early dismissal days. If we conduct parent/teacher conferences during the school day, we will still offer care at an additional fee.

We also close the week after school ends as well as the week before the school year begins, in order to prepare classrooms and conduct staff trainings.

If Jefferson County Schools calls a snow day, we will also be closed for the day. You will receive a school-wide email as well as one from your child's teacher. Abiding Hope will also be listed on the Closures page of the 9 News website. Our school will not scroll at the bottom of the screen on 9 News, however.

If Jefferson County Schools announces a delayed start due to inclement weather, we will open at 9:00 AM. We will not be open for morning care.

If schools are delayed due to cold temperatures but roads are safe, we will open for before care at 7:00 AM.

In the event that inclement weather develops during the school day, we may cancel afternoon care in order for our families and staff to return home safely. You will receive emails during the day or a phone call if this occurs.

Unfortunately, we are not licensed for infants at the 6337 S Robb Way location. We begin enrolling children who are 18 months old and who are walking independently, beginning to self-feed and no longer requiring a bottle to be prepared.

We do accept infants at the Nature School (5707 S Simms St.). Please see www.abidinghopenatureschool.org for more information and enrollment.
