ENROLLMENT & FEES

Enrollment decisions take place in January for Kindergarten, and in April for the toddler and preschool programs, and continue as openings occur.  Once you return the completed application, please notify us of any changes that need to be made on the application (address, phone, change in requested schedule, etc.)

Applications are kept on file for one academic year only.  If your child is not admitted for the current academic year, you must reapply to be considered for the next academic year.  Applications for 2008-2009 as well as for the current school year are currently being accepted.  

We currently have two toddler classes for children 18 - 35 months (five days/full time); four preschool classes for children 3, 4, and 5 years old (both half day and full day); and an all-day kindergarten.  The Center serves more than 12 departments at Kent State University as a site for both field experiences and research. 

 

APPLICATIONS FOR 2008/09 ARE CURRENTLY BEING ACCEPTED
