Enrollment Procedures

We are reaching out to those on our waitlist for Fall 2023. We are currently full in our Toddler and Infant programs and have a waitlist. We encourage all interested families to join our waitlist as soon as possible. Spots are typically available in May of each year. Once your child has a spot, you are welcome to schedule a walk through to see the facility and meet staff. Your child will be considered enrolled once all paperwork is filled out and the registration fee has been paid.
