| Enrollment Information The center is open to children between the ages of six
weeks and pre-kindergarten with admission preference being given to
children of VA employees. Both full-time and part-time enrollments are
possible. Scholarships for VA employees may be available for those with
limited income. As space becomes available, siblings of currently enrolled
children will be enrolled, with children of VA employees having first priority.
Mainstreaming of those children with physical, mental, or
sensory impairments is encouraged. Adaptations will be provided to the
extent possible.
Enrollment is considered complete when:
- A child and parent have visited the program.
- All necessary paperwork is completed.
- All required fees have been paid.
- The parent has had an orientation meeting with the
Executive Director or the Director's designee.
You may enroll on a full-time or part-time basis.
Once your schedule is set, changes to the schedule must be approved by the
Executive Director. Full time enrollment entitles a family to 10 hours per
day of care. Half days entitle a family to a maximum of 6 hours per day;
morning schedules are any hours between 6:00 am and noon. Afternoon hours
are any hours from noon to 6:00 pm.
Children will generally move up to the next group in
September when the oldest children have graduated to kindergarten. The
criteria for movement is developmental readiness. Children will not be
pushed into inappropriate moves.
An initial registration fee of $50 per child will be due
at the time of registration. The registration fee is non-refundable.
