Programs Offered by Clarlen

We offer part-time morning programs for 2s, 3s, and 4s. Children must be the target age by September 1st, and they stay in the same class all year.

Our year begins in September and continues through May. With a few exceptions, the calendar and inclement weather response follows that of the Howard County Public School System.

Registration for new students typically begins the Winter prior to the fall the child begins at Clarlen. We follow the public school model of requiring students to reach the target age by September 1st.

Children currently enrolled at Clarlen and their siblings have priority for class placement for the following year. Class formation is based on the needs of the community.

Tuition is paid in three parts:

a $200 deposit in May which will be applied towards the 1st semester,
the remainder of 1st semester tuition in September,
and the 2nd semester tuition in January.

Snacks, supplies, insurance, and most field trips are included.

There is also a registration fee: a one time $175.00, non-refundable fee paid at the time of registration.
