The preschool program at Samuel Staples Elementary School is accepting
applications for the 2025-2026 school year. Easton residents may apply to
attend our 5-day preschool program. Your child must be three years of age by
October 15, 2025 and potty-trained.

The application deadline is January 10th, 2025. Applicants will be chosen by
lottery and notified via email/letter by February 3rd, 2025. If your child is not
drawn in the lottery, the application will remain in our files for one year and
he/she will be placed on the waitlist. If a space opens up in the program, the
waitlist will be utilized and you will be notified by phone if your son/daughter
has been selected.

Tuition rates are established annually by the Easton Board of Education.
Tuition increases generally correspond with increases in the Easton Public
School’s budget. If your child is selected, a nonrefundable deposit of $500 is
due by February 14th, 2025 to secure a seat in the program. If the deposit is
not received by February 14th, the seat will be given to the next child on the
waitlist.

An orientation for new students will be held in August 2025, date to be
determined.

If you are interested in your child attending our preschool program, please
