Children need to be three years old by August 31, 2023 for the 2023-2024 school year to apply and must be able to use the restroom by themselves.

What is the philosophy of the program?

We have the same focus as BCA: building a strong academic foundation in a warm, nurturing environment.

When does the program begin?

School begins September 5th

If admitted into BCA's preschool program, will evaluation be needed for enrollment into BCA Pre-K?

We will have a process of evaluation to join Pre-K, but our preschool students will have priority over outside students applying.

After the Playgroup Interview, we will post our decision on Ravenna and send it to your email via Ravenna within two business days.

Can you tell us more about the facility?

Our Satellite 1 building currently houses our Pre-K program but will be used for Preschool for 23-24. It has a bathroom in each classroom, beautiful indoor play areas, and three outdoor play spaces attached to the building.
