  • Initial Application

    • All applications for enrollment in our program go through a detailed selection process that helps us to select children and families with the highest need of our services.
    • This selection process will begin in early summer and continue until classes are full. Vacancies occur in all classrooms throughout the year. When this happens, we will continue to accept children.
    • If your child is selected for enrollment, you will receive a letter in the mail no later than August 31, 2022. This letter will inform of what your next steps are to complete the enrollment process.
    • 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.
