Please join our waitlist to learn about enrollment openings at Turtle Island!​ This list is for families who do not currently have a child at Turtle Island but would like to enroll one or more of their children.  In June of 2027, we'll send an email to families on the waitlist requesting them to fill out a new waitlist application if you're still interested in a spot at Turtle Island ​​​​​

​

IMPORTANT: Please add community@turtleislandvt.org to your contact or safe sender list to ensure emails are delivered!

​

Here's how it works:

• When we have an opening or multiple openings, we'll send an email with the specific information for the spot(s). For example, we might say "We have a 3 day (Monday, Tuesday, Thursday) Pre K opening for children born on or before 9/1/2021." Or we may say "We have a full time (M-F) toddler opening for children born between 9/1/22 and 12/1/23"​

• Depending on our waitlist entries and spaces available, we may send individual emails or we may send a group email.

 

We enroll children off the waitlist in the following order:

• Children of TICC staff 

• Siblings of currently enrolled children

• Families who respond to our email notifications about open spots, according to program fit and response date

​

Should there be space available, we ask that you:

• Tour our center

• Attend one pre-enrollment conference (for parents/guardians) with the classroom teachers and at least one "play date" for your child to get to know the teachers, children and spaces

• Complete all necessary paperwork

​

The enrollment papers and deposit are typically required five business days prior to the start of enrollment. ​

​

Note: If a family is interested in joining Turtle Island in the middle of a school year, in order to "hold the spot," they are asked to pay the full tuition rates for the months leading up to the child's arrival.​​
