    Please Note the Following:

    • Priority is given to children who are continuing at the center.
    • New applications are handled on a first come, first served basis after the continuing students have been accommodated.
    • Filing an application does not insure you a place at the center since openings are often limited, especially during peak hours and in the younger groups (i.e., infants and toddlers).
    • You will be notified by the director if your child's schedule has been accepted.
