Registration

Registration Procedure

Contact the Program Director(s) to inquire about openings (or click here for an online waiting list sign up form). If there is an opening, the parent/guardian and the Program Director will arrange a meeting. At this time, a registration packet will be completed and a start date will be arranged. If there are no openings, your name will be placed on a waiting list and you will be notified when an opening occurs. An annual preregistration period is offered for families who are currently enrolled in our program and wish to preregister for the following school year. We strongly urge families to take advantage of pre-registration, as spots are not guaranteed from year to year, and availability is on a first-come, first-serve basis.
