Wait List Form — click underlined link
Wait List/Slots (please read thoroughly before completing):
Entry points:
Toddler classroom– 15 months (we prioritize older toddlers; children who will be 21 months by 9/1 will spend one year in the toddler classroom, which is our enrollment goal)
Preschool program (we have 4 classrooms) -2 years 9 months (but may be anywhere from 2.9 to 4 years 11 months)
Children First Kindergarten – must be 5 yrs old by 9/1 to attend
School-Age program – must be within 2 weeks of attending kindergarten and children are no longer eligible when attending 7th grade
**We do not offer infant care.
PLEASE READ THOROUGHLY BEFORE COMPLETING INTAKE:
1.) Because we tend to be 100% full at all times, we have to wait for someone to give up their slot in order to offer one to a new family. We have strict ratios that we may not exceed.
2.) Annual contracts run from 9/1 to 8/31. As a result, we know that slots will open by 9/1. Some families may end before 8/31, and open slots will be offered based on info collected at time of enrollment.
3.) We do not offer tours until we know a slot will be opening. We are typically offering tours and slots 6-8 months ahead of actual slot openings.
4.) Our toddler and kindergarten programs are full-time only. Our 4 preschool classrooms have a majority of full-time slots. While we do have limited part-time slots in our preschool and school-age programs, our responsibility is to ensure that there are no enrollment “holes.” Therefore, preschool (and, to some extent our school-age programs) will work to “match” part-time requests to create a full slot (i.e., a M/W/F matched with a T/Th or a M/W with a T/Th/F, for example).
5.) We are a year-round program for toddlers and preschoolers. There is no formal option for taking a summer off and retaining your slot. Families that wish to reduce over the summer may inform the main office when that information is being collected, and those requests will be considered as the summer plan gets constructed. THERE IS NO GUARANTEE OF REDUCTION.
6.) If your child does not get a slot in a younger program, they will automatically be moved up to the Wait List for the next program for the following year unless you request to be removed from the Wait List (see separate link on website).
7.) You should receive an email generated by the Google form, confirming that you are on the Wait List.
8.) You will remain on the Wait List until you indicate otherwise (either formally through the removal link or by ceasing contact with us).
Sibling Waitlist Form — click underlined link
FOR:
Siblings of any child currently or formerly registered with us. It is critical that the information about siblings be shared by you in writing (this form) to ensure the accuracy of the information that guides decision-making.
TIMING:
Children can be added to the Wait List as early as birth.
By December, we will ask families to be sure that they have put any siblings on the Wait List (but they can be added at any time).
Once currently attending children are accommodated for their requested schedules for the upcoming year, we will use the information on the Sibling Wait List Form to offer slots to sibs (typically January).
OTHER:
Because our toddler room is for older toddlers, we will offer slots to toddler siblings according to age (descending order).
IMPORTANT:
Being on the Sibling Wait List does NOT guarantee you a slot. We do our best to prioritize siblings whenever possible.
