If your child is 2.9 - 6 years of age, either register for half-day preschool (we have current openings), or put your name on the waitlist for full-day preschool. Children who are age 0 through 2.9 will be put on the waitlist for the toddler program.

Update: We currently have one full-day preschool opening from June 1 through September 26 (it is unusual for us to have short-term openings like this).
