A $100 non-refundable registration fee per family will be charged. $25 of this registration fee is due when you submit your application, and is considered the Wait List Fee. The remainder of the registration fee will be collected at the enrollment meeting.

 


Step 1- Application
  • Submit a completed wait list application with the $25.00 non-refundable fee.

  • Your application will be placed on the waiting list in the order of the date submitted. While applications from outside Manhattan Beach are accepted, priority is given to residents of Manhattan Beach and district employees, and siblings.

  • Please notify our office immediately of any changes to the information you submit on your application.

Step 2 - Notification

  • You will be contacted when a space becomes available for your child.

  • While you will be notified when a space becomes available, you will be contacted periodically to confirm that your application is still active.

Step 3 - Pre-enrollment

  • Once you are called and informed that a space is available, a pre-enrollment screening in the age-appropriate classroom will be arranged for you and your child. This is an opportunity for you to survey our program while our staff observes your child.

  • If placement is appropriate and you would like to proceed with enrolling your child, you will be given an enrollment packet to complete.

Step 4 - Enrollment

  • After you have completed the enrollment packet, contact the Preschool office to schedule an enrollment meeting. We will review your paperwork and discuss the Preschool's policies and procedures at this meeting.

    • All medical information requested in the enrollment packet must be provided at the enrollment meeting. Requirements:

  1. Current physical examination, received within the past 12 months.
  2. Negative TB Mantoux test (not the Tine) received within the past 12 months.
  3. Copy of an up-to-date immunization record.
  • At this time we will collect the remainder of the non-refundable registration fee ($75), a two-week refundable deposit and the first months tuition.

  • Your child is officially enrolled upon completion of this meeting and the start date is set.
