NEW KINDERGARTEN PARENT INFORMATION

 

Pierce School Extended Day, Inc. is strongly committed to allowing as many families access to our program as possible while maintaining a safe, quality program childcare center. We have been working hard over the past several years and studying our enrollment patterns, along with doing long range planning for our organization.  Our program offers school age childcare for students whose parents/guardians work or attend school.

 

Below is an explanation of how we currently plan to conduct our Kindergarten Enrollment for the 2024-25  school year, along other important information regarding our program admission. Please note: PSED does plan to continue to operate during the Pierce construction project if this does occur during the next school year. Our plan is to also be located wherever our k-5 students are during this time. 
  

KINDERGARTEN ENROLLMENT PROCEDURES

Sibling Preference: Any family who currently has children enrolled in the PSED program will receive preference over new families wishing to enter the program.  We 

will collect applications online from March 1st to March 29th If we have more families apply than we have space for , we will conduct a lottery to deterines who gets in and who is palced on the wait list. Please note; We will notify families of their status the week of April 22nd You will receive an email from us by the end of that week. 

 

All Kindergarten Initial Applications Forms will be available online from March 1st to the 29th. Once the  application period closes, you may add your child's name to our wait list.

                             OTHER IMPORTANT INFORMATION 
Dropping and Adding Days:

Any family wishing to drop days may only do so on the two dates that have been designated by the PSED Board of Directors as Change of Schedule Dates (October 1st notification for a November 1st start and February 1st notification for March 1st start). We will be asking families to make a firm commitment to the days that they are requesting and holding them responsible for paying for those days even if they decide to take their child out of the program for a day or two during that period of time.  

 

Older Sibling Enrollment:

Any family who wishes to sign up older siblings, along with their kindergarten child should indicate this when enrolling their kindergarten child.  PSED cannot guarantee that older siblings will be admitted to the program, as availability of space varies from classroom to classroom.  Once a Kindergarten child is accepted into the PSED program we will either accept the older children into the program if space allows or move them to the top of our waiting list and accept them as soon as a space becomes available.   

 

Re-Enrollment Policy:

All families who are re-enrolling in the program for the next school year 2023-24 are only guaranteed the number and specific days they are currently enrolled for. Any family wishing to add or switch days for the following year may do so, only if space is available on those days. If there is no space available, they will be placed on the waiting list for those days where they will have priority over any new families wishing to enter the program.    

 

Please feel free to email the directors, Jean Day or Ellen Lenoch if you have any questions or need further clarification on any of these polices.
