Registration Information

All children must be a minimum of three years old prior to the requested start date. Open registration for the Early Childhood center begins on the date announced on the Web site and advertised on campus. Priority registration is given to those families who have children currently enrolled. No child will be registered for less than a two-hour block of time twice a week. A non-refundable registration fee of $25.00 must be paid each semester before the child's registration will be considered active.

Registration fee may be paid at the Service Center.

Temporary Care Services

We happily offer temporary care when enrollment allows. To qualify for this service the child must be pre-registered, have the $25.00 registration fee paid and have a completed medical current and on file with the center. Arrangements for temporary care must be made a minimum of 24 hours prior to the time services are desired. Contact the coordinator to make these special arrangements.
