Special Services

North Miami Elementary School, in coordination with Wabash Miami Area Program for Exceptional Needs, strives to provide every student a free and appropriate education. There are times where a case conference committee deems that a preschool student with an Individual Educational Plan is best served through participation in Little Warriors Preschool. When this occurs the case conference committee will meet and create a plan that outlines what services are needed to ensure the special education student is successful in the community preschool setting. Some of the topics to consider during the case conference shall include, but aren’t limited to, the following:

  • Physical Room Environment
  • Access to Materials 
  • Adaptive Behavior and Self-Help Supports Needed

Tuition and Payments

  •  Little Warriors Preschool is a self-sustaining community preschool that is funded solely through student tuition. No funds other than student tuition are used to pay for the staff, classroom items and materials used each day.
  • Tuition is a flat weekly fee despite days attended during the week. The exception is for the week of Thanksgiving, where tuition is half of what it normally would be since school is in session on Monday and Tuesday only per the school year calendar. 
  • Full day weekly tuition is $60.
  • Half day weekly tuition is $35.
  • Tuition must be paid every Monday unless another arrangement is discussed and approved by the school principal. ● Parents must agree to and sign the payment agreement upon enrolling their student. 
  • Payments can be made via check, cash or online. The online system does have a recurring payment option for convenience. ● Late notices will be given if the weekly payment is not received.
  • In the event that a parent/guardian does not pay the weekly fee two weeks in a row, the child will not be able to attend again until the past due and current amount for the week is paid in full. Once that is paid, the child can attend class again. 
  • After three weeks of non-payment, the child’s spot can be given to another child if there is a waiting list for the session the child is in at the time.
