Ben Hill Preschool is excited to announce the Early Learning Care program for the 2025 - 2026
school year. This program is designed to build a solid foundation for education. Early learning skills,
which include socialization, communication, physical, cognitive, and emotional development are
imperative for student growth. The ELC has had great success in the few years it has been
established, and we want to continue to create positive experiences of early education for the young
learners of our community.

Beginning this school year, enrollment in the ELC will require tuition. The fee is $125 per
week. Parents will be responsible for payment for all weeks that students are in session
commensurate with the Ben Hill County School System calendar. Payment will not be required for
school holidays such as Thanksgiving, Christmas, and Spring Break. Weeks with one or two day
holidays will be prorated at $25/day so as to not charge for days when school is not in session. Our
first day of school will be Monday, August 4, 2025.

Scholarships, provided by Childcare And Parent Services or CAPS, can be attained if qualified. If
interested, please go to the Georgia Gateway website by clicking here.
Ben Hill Preschool’s ELC is a License Exempt program. This exemption is granted by the Department
of Early Learning and Care. Because the ELC is a government owned entity, it is not required to be
licensed by the state of Georgia.

Registration and enrollment for the 2025 - 2026 school year will begin soon! Please complete the
ELC Interest Form by clicking here. Make sure to complete all sections and respond
when contacted. We look forward to meeting you and your child.

Sincerely,

Amy Sellars
