Registration for the 2025-2026 School Year

Thank you for your interest in Little School. We are a ministry of First EPC and a Level 3 in Indiana’s Paths to Quality Program. We also partner with the state to accept “On My Way Pre-K” and CCDF vouchers. We will open enrollment to the public for the 2025-2026 school year on March 1, 2025. You will find tuition and class information for each age below.

After our registration period opens, your child’s placement will be secured after we have received all the following:

  • Completed Online Registration Form found here
  • Fall Supply Fee of $60 for 2s classes, $85 for half day 3s/4s/5s, or $160 for All-Day Students
  • A copy of current immunization records

NEW STUDENTS ONLY: We will also need a signed Health form on file for your child before the first day of class. You can use the form provided here OR your doctor may have their own form or letter they prefer to submit.

We look forward to having you join our Little School family!

Current Class Options

It is important to us that we maintain excellent teacher to student ratios in our classes. Therefore, classes do fill to capacity as families begin registering their students. If a class option is full, you can request to join a waitlist by emailing LSdirector@firstEPC.com. Do not pay a Supply Fee if you are only joining a waitlist as this is a non-refundable fee and a waitlist spot does not guarantee enrollment.

Our Mission

Little School aims to support families and provide a safe and encouraging Christian environment that supports each child in developing a lifelong love of learning. 

We Believe….

  • Play is the “work of a child” and the best way to facilitate learning
  • A successful classroom is full of engaged and happy children and teachers, eager to learn and grown together
  • Children grow and develop at individual rates
  • Gaining social and emotional skills help children interact and cooperate in community throughout life
  • Children should be encouraged to ask questions, solve problems, make choices, and become independent as they explore their world
  • Each child and family is uniquely made by God, their contributions are important and they are worthy of appreciation and respect
  • Parents and families are a child’s first and most influential teachers and should be a part of learning experiences
  • Every child in our community should have access to quality, Christian early education
