Admissions Process

To begin the Playgroup admissions process please fill out an application form to create a record in our database, ensuring that you are kept up to date on all admissions news, invitations and deadlines. Applications are accepted from September 1st to October 31st, one year prior to your child(ren)'s start date. If the $150 application fee is a hardship for your family, please let us know. After submitting an application form you should receive an automatic email providing a link to schedule an on-campus tour and information session. 

Once you have submitted your application you will receive a link via email to sign-up for a group tour of Playgroup's campus. Tours are held every Wednesday from 11:00 am-12:00 pm beginning in early October and running through mid November. During the tour you will have an opportunity to visit classrooms, ask questions, meet teachers and staff, and learn more about Playgroup's pedagogy and values. 

After attending a campus tour you are invited to meet with our Director and co-founder Lonna Corder. Once again, this scheduling link will be sent via email. This parent-only meeting offers the space to share more about your family, ask questions, and gain an understanding of whether Playgroup is the best fit for your child(ren) and family. These individual interviews are held between 11:00 am-2:00 pm on weekdays beginning in early November and running through mid-January. 

The final step of the admissions process is to attend a group playdate with your child. During the playdate your child(ren) will get to enjoy our playground, interact with Playgroup's toddler teachers and other applying families. Our lead toddler teachers and admissions director will all be in attendance ready to answer any final questions, and excited to meet potential new families. The group playdates are hosted every Wednesday at 11:00 am beginning in early January through mid-February. 

Playgroup will contact all potential new families with acceptance decisions in early March, the spring before the child(ren)'s start date. We ask that families accept their enrollment or waitlist spots within a week of receiving an offer. Playgroup's enrollment needs change year-to-year but every year we create a waitlist pool that is very consistently pulled from.
