Enrollment Procedures
Note: Current families may enroll for summer sessions starting March 15th, 2022. New families may enroll beginning April 18th, 2022
After the initial call or email and a center visit, parents submit the enrollment application form with the registration fee. This is followed by an interview with a caregiver, the parents and the child. Parents are given the Parent Handbook to take home and read and get back with any questions. When the caregivers and parents assess that the center can meet the needs of their child and family, then the parents return all paper work including
- Yearly enrollment fee of $135.00 – due when signing up or each August
- A signed statement that the Parent Handbook has been read
- An agreement to attend required parent-caregiver meetings
- Medical alert form and history
- Emergency cards
- Immunization record or waiver
- Any required school transportation forms

When the enrollment fee and all completed forms have been received, your child will be considered enrolled.
