Kindergarten Reimbursement
In many cities and towns, half-day kindergarten is provided by the public school system. If your child were to attend a full day program in the public school, parents are faced with tuition for the remaining half-day. We want to ease your financial obligation so your kindergartner can attend private or public school.  Click HERE for application and guidelines.  Program will cease June 1, 2008
