For the 2025-2026 Academic Year Registration will open on:
August 2nd at 8:00 a.m. for the Fall Semester
January 5th at 8:00 a.m. for the Spring Semester*
*Open to children ages 2–5. Parents may choose to register their children for one, two, or all three days (Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays). Spots are filled on a first come, first served basis.
Classes will not be opened up for more children as our class sizes are set by our child safety ratios.
For legal reasons, this cannot be changed if the class has already maxed the ratio. In the event that the class you desired is full, the waitlist will be attached to the registration page and that will be your only option in the event a spot opens up that was previously taken.
