The Nashua Title I preschool at The First Church, 1 Concord St., is now accepting registration applications for the fall.

The program is in the educational wing of the church, but is operated by the Nashua School District. The program can accommodate up to 45 children.

Prospective students must be 4 by Sept. 30 and live in the Amherst Street, Dr. Crisp, Fairgrounds, Ledge Street or Mount Pleasant elementary school neighborhoods to be eligible for enrollment.

The district begins a waiting list in January and invites students to be screened in April. For the screening process, teachers work one-on-one with students testing cognitive/language, articulation, and fine motor and gross motor abilities.

The program selects the most educationally needy children to fill open spaces.

Preschool hours run 8:45 a.m.-12:15 p.m. Monday-Friday. The staff includes three certified teachers, three paraeducators and one home/school coordinator.

For more information, call 889-5900.
