Director's Comments
Question to director: Please list anything you wish parents to be aware of with respect to the application process.
We encourage parents to visit the center and determine if this is a place they would like to send their child. At that time, put in an application - even if the waiting list seems long. Many families on the waiting list move and do not update their information, thus when we call to enroll, we are unable to contact them which moves you up the waiting list
