Enrollment

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. We will enroll children based on applications we receive through our enrollment notice emails and not based on when you joined our waitlist. ​​​​​
​
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"
-
If those parameters meet your family's needs, you will follow the instructions in the email to apply. We will review each application and contact you with next steps.​
​​
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 a "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.​​
