REGISTRATION PROCEDURE FOR PRESCHOOL
Registration information for the 2026-27 school year
Currently Enrolled; Alumni; and Legacy family registration:
Please note that all children enrolling MUST meet age requirements for the class they are registering for.
Currently Enrolled, Alumni, and Legacy families can submit registrations on Tuesday, January 13, 2026 through Thursday, January 15, 2026. We will then place children in this order: Currently Enrolled (children that were enrolled for the 2025-26 school year), Alumni (a child previously attended A Child’s Way) and Legacy (parent attended A Child’s Way), then New Families. If more children want a particular class then there are available openings, we will hold a lottery (again this is NOT a first-come, first served process). If a lottery is needed, children will be placed in this order: currently enrolled, alumni/legacy, new families. If you do not get your first choice, we will place you on the first choice wait list, and then place you in your next available choice. We will then email you with your placement. Current families, to accept your placement, you must pay the registration fee within 72 hours of receiving your notification of placement and invoice for payment. Legacy and Alumni families, to accept your placement, you must pay the registration fee and May 2027 tuition within 72 hours of receiving your notification of placement and invoice for payment. Once received, this payment is non-transferable and non-refundable and guarantees the placement. If we do not receive your payment your application will be cancelled. Payments will be made online via Authorize.net (Bank of America).
New Family Registration:
Please note that all children enrolling MUST meet age requirements for the class they are registering for.
Families new to A Child's Way can submit an online application no earlier than January 31, 2026. Applications submitted prior to January 31st will not be placed. To register: go to the homepage of our website, www.achildsway.com and click on the "Register Online" button in the yellow banner. Once submitted, we will offer you a placement based on openings available after our Current family/alumni/legacy registration. To accept your placement, you must pay the registration fee and the May 2027 tuition payment within 72 hours of receiving your notification of placement and invoice for payment. Once received, this payment is non-transferable and non-refundable and guarantees the placement. If we do not receive your payment your application will be cancelled. Payments will be made online via Authorize.net (Bank of America).
Registration will remain open until classes are filled. You will be required to pay a Registration Fee and May 2027 tuition to secure the placement.
Registration Information for the 2026-27 school year:
- Please review our Health & Safety Policy and Financial Policies BEFORE you apply. You will be asked to agree to the Health & Safety Policy in September. You will be asked to agree to the Financial Policy when you accept your placement.
- Currently enrolled, alumni and legacy family registration: Currently enrolled families at A Child’s Way, along with alumni / legacy, will register between Tuesday, January 13th at 8am to Thursday, January 15th at 11:59pm. To register, go to the homepage of our website: www.achildsway.com and click the "Register Online" button in the yellow banner. Children who are currently enrolled at A Child’s Way are guaranteed placement in our school next year. However, we cannot guarantee a specific class. Once currently enrolled children are placed, we will place any siblings of enrolled children, then alumni/ legacy. Any child repeating Pre-K will be guaranteed a 4-day Pre-K class placement. If too many children are registered for a specific class, we will have an in-school lottery to determine class placement. For those of you who did not receive your first choice, you will be placed on the Wait List for your first choice and offered the next available open placement. Current families will be required to pay a Registration Fee to secure placement. Legacy and Alumni families will be required to pay a Registration Fee and May 2027 tuition to secure placement. Class placement is not based on a first-come, first-served basis. Rather, we will wait until all applications are received on Thursday, January 15th before making class placements through the lottery process.
