Preschool and kindergarten registration for the 2024-2025 school year at Alliance City Schools will begin online on Friday, March 1.

Alliance Preschool (AP), located at 1490 Parkway Blvd., houses all preschool students in the district. The school offers half-day classes with a morning and afternoon session available.

All teachers in the preschool program are highly trained and hold masters degrees- this is not a common occurrence for many preschools. Each class room has a teacher and at least one teacher aide to assist the students in their daily learning and activities. The students begin at the age of three or four in a classroom setting and learn skills necessary to prepare them for kindergarten. 

Starting with the 2023-24 school year, Alliance Preschool relocated from Alliance Early Learning School to the former Parkway Elementary building. This is the first time the preschool program has had their own building.

“Having our own building has given us more opportunities for learning, activities, collaborating with community organizations and having family engagement activities. We are excited to grow our program and continue to become the best preschool we can be,” said Adam De Monte, principal of Alliance Preschool.

In order to register for Preschool, children have to be 3 years-old by Aug. 1, 2024. The following is required for registration:

  • Birth Certificate from the Health Department

  • Immunization Records

  • Parent or Guardian Photo Identification

  • Proof of Address

  • Custody Documents if applicable

  • Parent or Guardian Proof of Income

  • Incoming preschoolers should be potty trained. 

Families will also need to turn in the Child Medical Statement completed by a doctor and the Eligibility Screening Tool. Both forms are available to print off during the registration process or hardcopies are available for pick up at Alliance Preschool during the school day.

If you have questions, please contact Alliance Preschool at 330-829-2284.

Spots are limited for preschool registration. Students previously registered in preschool at AP do not have to be re-registered for the 2024-2025 academic year.

Alliance Early Learning School (AELS), located at 285 W. Oxford St., houses all kindergarten and first grade students attending Alliance City Schools. Students take part in daily specials, are taught by highly trained staff and enjoy free breakfast and lunch through the National School Lunch and Breakfast Program.

For kindergarten, children have to be 5 years-old by Aug. 1, 2024. The following is required for registration:

  • Birth Certificate from the Health Department

  • Immunization Records

  • Parent or Guardian Photo Identification

  • Proof of Address

  • Custody Documents if applicable

“Alliance City Schools is the place to be,” said Cory Muller, principal at AELS. “Between caring and professional staff, the resources our district is able to provide for students and families and the beautiful school buildings, children receive a well-rounded and high-quality education from preschool through grade 12.”
