We welcome families through a thoughtful step-by-step process that helps us get to know your child and ensure our program can best support your family.

​

☎️ Step 1: Express Your Interest

​

Families begin by calling the program or completing the online interest form. This lets us know you are interested in learning more about the program and beginning the application process.

​

🧸 Step 2: Developmental Observation

​

Families are invited to attend a developmental observation with their child. During this visit, caregivers will complete part of the application while their child spends time in our culture room/classroom setting interacting with other children and staff. This allows our team to learn more about your child’s development and how we can best support their needs.

​

📋 Step 3: Enrollment Review & Determination

​

Program staff review the developmental observation and initial application information to determine whether our program is the best fit for your child and family.

A Family Support Worker will contact you with the results and confirm your child’s enrollment, securing their spot in the program. If we’re unable to offer placement, we will connect you with other resources to support your child’s success.

​

🏠 Step 4: Home Visit

​

Families who move forward in the process will have a home visit scheduled with a Family Support Worker (FSW). During this visit, Part B of the application will be completed, and additional information will be gathered.

​

🤝 Step 5: Information Session & Child’s Program Package

​

Families will be invited to attend a mandatory information session where we review program expectations, policies, daily routines, and important program information.

At this time, families will receive their child’s program package, which includes important details such as the program location, site team, transportation/bussing information, and other key information to help prepare for the start of the program.

​

🌿 Step 6: First Day of School

​

Your child’s first day of school will be scheduled once the previous steps in the process have been completed. Start dates may vary depending on when families complete the application process.

​

Please note that program registration closes December 1st of each school year.
