Yes, there is a non-refundable $20 application fee to add your child to our waitlist. You can pay via Venmo @TheChildrens-Center. This may be waived for economic hardship.

Waitlist applications are dated as they are received and at that time your child is added to our digital waitlist. In early spring we review the waitlist, in order, to offer any available slots for the coming school year.

It is difficult to determine when an open space will align with your needs and preferences and our availability.

We reach out about available spots in early spring.
