For Paid Spots: You will be asked to pay a one-time $100.00 enrollment fee, payable to Pacific Ridge Elementary School (this does NOT apply to students who qualify for Preschool Promise). Both the Reservation Form and the enrollment fee are required to secure placement. This one-time payment will be credited to your first month's payment upon placement confirmation. Our program is partly funded by a Preschool Promise grant through the Oregon Department of Education Early Learning Division. 

We offer two placement options for enrollment into Pacific Ridge Beginning School. The first is a paid slot option. For our paid slot option, we currently prioritize 4-year-olds. If space allows, we will consider 3-year-old students. We also prioritize students within the Seaside School District boundary. For our paid slot option, we can enroll up to 18 students. Our second option is the Pre-School Promise. Families must qualify for this free enrollment. Further information is provided below. 

*Preschool Promise Requirements: children must:

• Be at least three years old, but not older than five years old by September 1 of the year of attendance,
• Be an Oregon resident, and
• Live in a household with an income at or under 200% of the poverty level.
