Application Process

Families interested in enrollment at the Child Educational Center are asked to complete the following activities in the process of applying to the program:

  1. First, call the office to request an application and supporting information. Be sure to read the Parent Handbook and any attached materials thoroughly. If you have any questions, please call us at 818-354-3418.
  2. Second, return the completed application form.
  3. Third, make arrangements to visit the program with your child.
  4. Fourth, meet with a director prior to enrollment.

Although most of our actual admissions into the program occur between mid-June and mid-September of each year, with planning done between April and June, we do experience some vacancies mid-year. We hold everyone's applications in our waiting pool throughout the year in the event a vacancy appears. Each year in January, we update the waiting pool list by sending out a form to each family on the list and ask that it be completed and returned. Only those families who return the form are kept in the pool.

“…This center is a magical, wonderful place. It changes people, their hearts and their minds in ways that enrich us forever.”
