Criteria, Procedures and Timeline

At CCDC, children are our ‘clients’ - we care for them with the deepest respect, giving them opportunities to love who they are and thrive everyday

Priority for enrollment is determined as follows:

1. Current families and staff

2. Previously enrolled families

3. Priority waiting list

4. New applicants

Decisions about admission are made according to the following schedule:

  • Phase I: Families currently enrolled indicate their intentions to continue for the next school year, including requests for sibling enrollment. Phase I Deadline:  November 15
  • Phase II: Previously enrolled families, priority waiting list and new applicants are notified about admittance for the new school year that begins the following September.  A waiting list will be maintained for applicants not admitted in this phase to fill any vacancies that may occur after the initial enrollment confirmation period.  Phase II Deadline: November 15.
  • Phase III: Contracts confirming enrollment due. Phase III Deadline:  February 15
  • Phase IV:  Applicants placed on the waiting list will be considered for any openings that may occur at other times of the year. Phase IV Deadline: Ongoing

Placement is determined by the year of a child's birth.  Children remain with their peer group throughout their enrollment, limiting program transitions to once per year.

Part Time Enrollment Policy
Part time enrollment is available on a limited basis in those rooms.  Priority is given to families with existing part time schedules from year to year.
