OUR ADMISSIONS POLICY
There are four programs under the A Child's Place umbrella.
First Steps is a full-time, 12 month program with four age levels:
• Infants (AGE: born 2018)
• Young Toddlers (AGE: born 2017)
• Toddlers (AGE: born 2016)
• Preschoolers (AGE: born 2015 or 2014)
The 10 Month Program is a school year program with three age levels:
• Toddlers (AGE: 2 years by December 31)
• Threes (AGE: 3 years by December 31)
• Preschool (AGE: 4 years by December 31)
It is the school’s philosophy that there should be as close to a 50/50 mix of 3’s and 4’s as possible in the School Year Preschool Program, and a fairly even mix, when possible, of boys and girls in all programs.
OUR ADMISSIONS PROCESS
The admissions process for the 10 Month Program begins in October, December for our First Steps and February for our Summer Program. There are six “tiers” within the admissions process. These tiers define the order of priority of admissions into ACP programs. In the event that spaces are oversubscribed for any tier, lotteries, reflecting the school’s philosophy regarding gender and age mix, will be held to allocate space and create wait lists. All final placements are at the sole discretion of the Executive Director.
1. Children continuing in their current program and staff children - these children are guaranteed space in the next level.
2. Children who would like to switch between programs - if no space is available in the requested program, a space in the current program is guaranteed.
3. Siblings of children currently enrolled or alumni child at ACP for at least 3 years who wish to join a program (whether or not the sibling who is currently enrolled will be returning).
4. Siblings of Alumni child at ACP for 2 years or less who wish to join the program.
5. 2017-2018 Wait list Children and Children who have attended our Summer Program.
6. Children in the community who wish to join a program for the first time.
We are currently scheduling tours for the 2018-2019 school year. Please contact us to schedule an appointment.
