How to enroll

HSP is accepting applications for the 2026-2027 school year. Our school year begins in early-September and ends in late-May; we are not a year-round program.

Our Process is simple!

1. Complete the Interest Queue form to let us know you’re interested.

2. Attend the Open House on the first Saturday morning in February. If you aren’t able to attend, please reach out to the registrar.

3. If spots are available, the registrar will reach out with an enrollment offer.

4. Complete required payments and forms through Jovial.

If you are considering our school and it is after the Open House date, please still fill out the Interest Queue (linked above). We will reach out about new openings in the order you appear on the queue. 

The information on this form is confidential. Hancock Street Preschool admits students of any race, color, national or ethnic origin, religion, sexual orientation, or ability to all the rights, privileges, programs, and activities generally accorded or made available to students at the school. It does not discriminate in administration of its educational policies, admissions policies, scholarship and loan programs, and athletic or other school-administered programs. 

We are a non-secular program. While we rent space from a church, we are not affiliated with any religion.

OPEN HOUSE

Our Open House is being held Saturday, February 7th, 2026 from 9:30AM-12PM.

Please bring your preschooler! They will have the chance to explore the spaces and enjoy the same type of activities that fill our days, while you learn about our philosophy and meet teachers and current families.

You must either attend this Open House or make alternate arrangements for a tour in order for your application to be considered. It’s extremely important that families joining our community understand both the benefits and responsibilities of a cooperative preschool. 

Admittance for non-alumni families begins the week following the Open House and spots will be offered in the order of the queue.

Tuition

Tuition for the Red Class (3 year-old class) is $220 per month. Class meets Tuesday and Thursday, from 9:30am to 12pm.

Tuition for the Blue Class (4 year-old class) is $330 per month. Class meets Monday, Wednesday, and Friday from 9:30am to 12pm. There are optional opportunities to extend the school day until 1pm with additional programs in Spanish, Yoga and a lunch bunch.

Participation in school fundraising is a requirement.

Financial assistance is available.
