  • Initial Application

    • Applications for enrollment go through a detailed selection process to help us select children and families with the highest need for services.
    • This selection process will begin in early summer and continue until classes are full. We continue to accept children throughout the year as vacancies occur.
    • Should your child not be selected, they will be placed on a waiting list. This will not guarantee you a slot this year, but it will leave the possibility open as vacancies occur.
