Milford Preschool is an integrated program, meaning up to half of the children in each class may have a disability. Each class has a maximum of 16 students and is staffed by a teacher and two aides. Teachers are certified by the state of Ohio as general educators and intervention specialists. Speech-language pathologists and occupational therapists are also available on site.

Preschool tuition is $236 per month or $2,124 per year. Preschool follows the Milford Schools calendar.

In addition to tuition, a one-time, nonrefundable $65 registration fee is required. This fee must be paid by check or money order, made payable to the elementary school where your child is registered: Mulberry Elementary or Pattison Elementary.

By law, preschool tuition is not required for children who qualify for special education services. There is an annual $35 supply fee.

To enroll in Milford Preschool, children must be 3 years old by the first day of school and potty-trained.

Priority registration is available to families with children already enrolled in Milford Preschool. Priority registration is currently closed.

Registration for the 2027–2028 School Year:

Milford Preschool uses a lottery system for enrollment. The Intent to Register form will be available on the district website in January.

Families who already have a child enrolled in Milford Preschool should not complete the general Intent to Register form. Instead, please complete only the Priority Registration form sent directly to you.

The Intent to Register form does not officially register your child for preschool. It is used solely to help the district plan and conduct the lottery. Registration information will be sent separately.

Important: The preregistration link will be sent only to families who have successfully completed the Intent to Register form. The link will be included in a confirmation email sent directly to the email address provided on the form.

If you do not receive the confirmation email with the Pre-Registration Link, please contact lyons_ci@milfordschools.org for assistance.

Parents and guardians of students with identified special needs documented in an Individualized Education Program (IEP), or students for whom a disability is suspected, should contact our Preschool Coordinator, Kim Hayden, at (513) 679-3604 or hayden_k@milfordschools.org for additional enrollment information.
