Enrollment Process

 

1.  Fill out the interest list form found on our LegUp Directory Page and pay the $25 non-refundable waitlist fee. Please make sure that you click the box labeled IFSP – Early Intervention under the “subsidy details” section.

 

2.  If you are interested, you can then schedule a tour of the center via the LegUp Directory Page.  At this time all tours are being offered between 12:30p-2:30p during the children’s rest time.  The children do not nap in their primary classroom and this allows you to see the classrooms without the children being exposed to a larger number of people.

 

3.  During the tour we will discuss your child’s strengths and needs and how we may best serve you and your family.  If your child has an IFSP, it is helpful if you bring it with you.

 

4.  If a space is available and you choose to enroll, you will be sent an email offering you the open seat.  At this time the $125 non-refundable registration fee will need to be paid and you will be sent an application to complete and return ASAP.

 

5.  Upon receipt of the registration fee and application you will be sent information on how to access the remainder of the enrollment forms, due at least one week before the child’s first day.

Enrollment FAQs

Currently, all tours are offered between the hours of 12:30p-2:30p during rest time.  Our students do not rest in their primary classroom, and this allows you a chance to see the classroom in person while continuing to limit the number of people our students come into contact with. You can schedule a tour through our LegUp Directory. You are able to join our waitlist without touring our center.

There are no immediate availabilities. As spaces become available, we will reach out to families currently on our waitlist first, which is managed through LegUp. You can visit our LegUp Directory Page for more details.

We offer part-week options of Tues/Thurs or Mon/Wed/Fri in our Pandas (ones), Giraffes (twos), and Turtles (threes) classrooms.  We do not offer part-week options in our Bears (fours) or Chipmunks (fives) classrooms. We are unable to accommodate part-week schedules that are different than Tues/Thurs or Mon/Wed/Fri. In compliance with NC Developmental Day criteria, part-week schedules are not an option for a student enrolling at WPCC through the Wake County preschool IEP process.

Families can drop off or pick up their children at any time during our hours of operation (7:30 am – 5:30 pm), but we do not offer a partial day rate.

No, we do not offer hourly or drop-in care for any students.

You can join our waitlist by following this link and submitting a waitlist fee of $25/child. Waitlist fees are non-refundable and non-transferable to other children. If you are enrolling a student with a Wake County IEP or if you are actively in the IEP process with Wake County Public Schools, your wait list fee will be waived in compliance with FAPE.

The lengths of our waitlists vary according to the classroom.  Most spaces become available between June and September of each year when our rising kindergarteners graduate and move on to elementary school.

We recommend that you join our wait list as far in advance as possible. Being a small center, it is difficult to accommodate all the families that are interested in joining our school family.  Some students will age out of our program before an appropriate spot becomes available.

We will contact you as soon as a space that suits your needs becomes available; usually about a month in advance of the date you would like care to begin.

Yes, we accept NCDHHS Childcare Subsidy vouchers. We do not charge families the difference between our tuition and the market rate. Families paying for childcare with a subsidy voucher are responsible for waitlist and enrollment fees.
