Little Dragon's Inclusive Preschool Program (Through December 20, 2024)

Applications and referrals are now being accepted for the Chesterfield Township School District's Little Dragons preschool.  This inclusive preschool program provides an opportunity for our 3- and 4-year-old students with special needs to learn and grow alongside their typically developing peers. 

The current integrated preschool model is a half-day program that meets five days per week for 2.5 hours daily. There is a morning session and an afternoon session. Session dates follow the Chesterfield School regular school calendar.

Registration Requirements: Students must be residents of Chesterfield Township and must be three years of age by October 1st. Registered students may begin attending on or after their third birthday. All students must have district-required immunization and health records. Tuition students must also be toilet trained. 

Preschool Students with a Disability: Eligibility for specially designed public school preschool programming is defined by N.J.A.C. 6A:14 & determined and developed by the district's Child Study Team. If you have a child with special needs, or if you have any concerns about your child’s development, please contact us at 609-298-3027.

Tuition Students: Because there are a limited number of openings for typically developing 3- and 4-year-old students, participants will be chosen by lottery from completed eligible applications.  After the initial selection process, openings will be filled on a first come-first served basis until the classes are full. Once classes are full, applicants may be put on a waiting list.  Tuition will be $3,200.00 for the year, to be paid in monthly installments.  A non-refundable application fee of $25 is to be remitted with the application. The first tuition payment is due at the time of registration.   The annual Application Deadline for tuition students is March 15th.

Applications are available here or at the Chesterfield Elementary School office.
