Registration Information
|
We would love to have your family become a part of our school. Making the decision to enroll usually begins by speaking with our Registrar, getting your questions answered and taking a school tour. Contact us in any way that is convenient for you (email, phone, Facebook) so we can help you get started.
We ask that you take a tour of the school before registering your child. If you cannot make your scheduled tour, please contact the registrar and reschedule as soon as possible. Once you decide to enroll, you will give the completed pre-registration form to our registrar and pay the non-refundable registration fee of $60 to hold a place in the class. The fee can be paid with cash or check. After your pre-enrollment in confirmed, you will complete a full enrollment packet. You will also attend an orientation meeting if you are enrolling before the school year begins. Finally, it's class time! |

Enrollment for an upcoming school year is open first to returning families beginning January 1st. Children returning to the same class will have priority over children moving from another MCP class. Open enrollment for the general public begins January 31st. A completed pre-registration form and fee must be submitted to hold a spot for the upcoming year.
A wait list is created for each class when the maximum number of enrolled students is reached. Enrollment and wait lists are "first come, first served". Prospective parents must complete and submit a pre-registration form for a student to be on the official class roster or a class wait list.
We are able to "over enroll" the Preschool classes by one student and "over enroll" the 2's class by two students at the beginning of the school year only. Over enrollment is not allowed after the school year has begun.
Student enrollments during the school year are welcome if we have an open spot in a class. Contact us to find out if we have an opening.

In general, enrollment age requirements are as follows:
- A child must be 2 years old by August 31st in order to register for the 2's class.
- A child must turn three by August 31st in order to register for the 3-5 classes.
Exceptions to the enrollment age requirements may be made under certain circumstances in compliance with preschool policies and by-laws. The requirements are:
- For the 2's class, there will be no registration of a child who is younger than the age requirements until after August 31st (to allow registration preference to children who do meet the age requirements). After August 31st, if there is space available in the a class, a family with a child who will turn 2 years between September 1st and October 15th may petition for enrollment. A letter explaining the reason for the petition shall be submitted to the Board. The letter may be mailed, emailed or delivered to the Executive Chair. The petition will be reviewed by the Teacher, Parent Educator and the Board. If approved, a four week trial period will be granted. Upon completion of the trial period, the Teacher, Parent Educator and Board will meet to review the child’s class placement and make a final recommendation.
- For the Preschool class, if a child turns 3 after August 31st but before October 15th, that child will have a four week trial period in the lower age class first. Upon completion of the trial period, a family may petition the Board explaining why placement in a higher age class is needed. The petition will be reviewed by the Teacher, Parent Educator and Board. If approved, a four week trial period will be granted. After the trial period the Teacher, Parent Educator and Board will meet to review the child’s class placement and make a final recommendation.
