Malberg Early Childhood Application

2023-2024 Enrollment for Typical Student 

The Cherry Hill School District will again be offering preschool inclusion classes during the 2023-2024 school year for Cherry Hill residents.  The Inclusion Program began 24 years ago in an effort to provide our population of children with special needs the opportunity to be educated in the least restrictive environment alongside their typically developing peers.  The classes will be held at the Malberg Early Childhood Center.  

We offer a full day program Monday through Friday. Children must be three (3) or four (4) on or before October 1, 2023. There is currently a $2,500.00 charge for the school year ($250.00 per month).  

Transportation will be provided for eligible students based on district policy.

The enrollment application period has closed. If the number of applications exceeds the number of available spots, a selection process will occur to determine entry into the program.  Families will be notified of their application status by mail sent no later than June 5, 2023.  Please do NOT call Malberg ECC to inquire about status. 

Those offered enrollment at Malberg will receive an Enrollment Notification Form and Tuition Contract. Families will return the Enrollment Notification Form, Tuition Contract, and $30.00 deposit to Estelle V. Malberg Early Childhood Center by 3:30 PM on Monday, June 12, 2023.  Failure to return the documents by the deadline shall constitute a declination of enrollment. (Mailed documents must be postmarked by June 12, 2023). When school personnel receive the Enrollment Notification Form and Tuition Contract, placement will be assigned and registration information will be provided. Applicants not initially offered admission will receive written notification and be placed on a waitlist.
