School Day Preschool
Our School Day Preschool at Bates is open to all interested students who are 4 years old and up by September 1st.
The Great Start Readiness Program (GSRP) is a State of Michigan, grant-funded program designed to provide eligible four-year old children with high-quality preschool. Tuition funding eligibility is based on family income and school readiness risk factors. To see if you qualify, visit www.washtenawpreschool.org and fill out an online form.
