Admission Procedures

We respect the individual differences of children and do not limit admission based on race, religion, or a child's needs, provided we have, or can obtain, the resources to meet these needs.

Waiting List
We prefer that you visit the Center and classroom prior to placing your child on our waiting list for enrollment. However, we will accept information about your child by phone or email and schedule your visit at a later date. Any special needs should be discussed at this time.

Enrollment Requirements
You will be notified as soon as space is available for your child. You will be expected to accept the available space within five (5) calendar days by completing a center application form and paying the registration fee and first week's tuition. Enrollment should begin within fourteen (14) calendar days.

We require at least one pre-enrollment visit with your child to the center. This visit may be one to two hours long. This gives your child a chance to meet his/her teachers, new friends, and to experience first hand what to expect in the classroom.

At the time of enrollment we must have your child's complete medical history, physical exam, and current immunization records. Children under fifteen months of age must have a written feeding schedule. All forms are available at the center.
