Teacher reading to pre-school children

The Child Enrichment Program is for approved affiliates only.

Approved Affiliates:

  • Current Students (this does not include students with a disrupted status)
  • Current Employees (this includes Sodexo and Pioneer Workers)
  • Alumni
  • Current Trustees
  • Current Board Members

Information such as specific policies will be listed on the registration page for your convenience.

Registration opens on the first Saturday in August for the fall semester and the first Saturday in January for the spring semester unless otherwise detailed.

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

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.
