    All new family applications must be postmarked or received by 4pm on March 10th, 2010.

Step 3 | The Lottery

Families with children currently enrolled in the preschool go through an application and lottery process to determine their placement in the school for the coming year. Once that is done, the remaining spaces are available for new families applying to the preschool. All child placement is decided by the lottery process.

    You will be notified by April 15th, 2010 of your enrollment status.

Waitlists: The Enrollment Coordinator will notify you as to your class assignment or position on the waitlist. As openings become available the Enrollment Coordinator will contact families on the waitlist. Our waitlists can change quickly so please be advised that you will have 48 hours to contact our Enrollment Coordinator once you have been notified regarding a class assignment. It is your responsibility to check your messages regularly and/or be in contact with the Enrollment Coordinator.
