The Community Preschool at SOU
The Preschool is a self–support program. Our expenses (teacher’s salaries, art supplies, professional development, equipment, books, etc.) are covered by the tuition fees paid by families. We appreciate your timely payments.
Please note that tuition is computed for the entire school year not on a daily, weekly, or monthly basis.
There is a $150 non-refundable deposit to secure your child’s spot. The deposit does not apply toward monthly tuition.
Schedule options (to be paid monthly):
- 2 days per week: $380
- 3 days per week: $570
- 4 days per week: $760
- 5 days per week: $950
To Make a Payment:
Registration fees for the 2026-2027 school year will be handled through the Bursar’s office. Payments may be delivered to the Bursar’s office located with Raider Student Services in the Computer Science building.
Once the service agreement is received by the preschool, parents are asked to wait 24 to 48 hours before paying the registration allowing enough time for the business offices to set up accounts.
Online Payments
Online payments can be made via our payment portal. You will need your Invoice Number. You can locate your Invoice Number in the upper right corner of your paper bill. SOU Faculty, Staff and Students please continue to make payments through your Banner accounts.
In person payments
Monthly tuition payments may be made with Bursar’s Office staff in Churchill Hall room 154. Non-cash payments can be deposited in the locked drop box near room 154.

Important Information
Adding/Reducing Days: Parents may add a day, if there is availability, to accommodate an occasional need. Please contact the Director for availability. A $47.50 fee will be added to your monthly tuition for each
additional day.
Illness: Because the program is based on teacher/child ratios we cannot provide make up days if your child is absent or ill. We must maintain specific ratios based on best practices.
To Withdraw: Please provide a written notice to the Director 30 days prior to the withdrawal. There is a $75.00 withdrawal fee along with any unpaid balances.
