Admissions FAQs
No, submission of an interest application form and application fee does not guarantee admission into our preschool program.
Yes, a separate interest application and interest application fee must be completed for each child you are interested in enrolling in our preschool program.
We recommend completing our interest application as soon as possible. Many families fill out the interest application as soon as they find out about a pregnancy, a change of childcare plans, or a potential move to the area.
If a spot becomes open, you must attend a playdate. Playdates allow High Hopes and the interested family the opportunity to determine if we are a good fit for your child and that High Hopes can support your child within the existing community of the classroom. A playdate will be requested for all children.
No, attending a playdate does not guarantee enrollment.
No. The interest application fee allows us to manage the admissions process including open house tours, application management, and roster management.
If your child is admitted to our program, the $50 fee will be applied to your account.
The goal of the High Hopes Admissions Team is to create classroom environments that provide the opportunity for growth and development for all children. If the team determines that we cannot accommodate your child at this time, you may choose to keep your child in our interest pool or have them removed.
Due to the complexity of our admissions process, we are unable to answer questions regarding a child’s status in the enrollment process. We will send out periodic requests for updated information as well as the option to remove your child from the interest pool. You may also contact us at any time to remove your child from the interest pool.
Your child will remain in our interest pool unless you ask to have them removed or they age out of our program.
