ADMISSION

If you are interested in knowing more about Crescent Park we suggest that you complete an Enrollment/Waitlist Form and
Schedule a Tour . Tours are typically conducted once a month from September through January.  During the preschool enrollment season, tours occur twice a month in the mornings from 10:30-11:15 AM.

Crescent Park enrolls children throughout the year.  When we have an opening and your child’s name comes up on the wait list, we give consideration to the opening that we have and to the schedule that you are requesting.  We will invite you to come with your child for an opportunity to meet you and to see your child in our setting.  We will work closely with you during this pre-enrollment time to ensure that this is the right match for your child, your family and for our community. Each family will be given time to observe the program in action before admission. A deposit of one month’s tuition is required upon admission and is applied toward your last month is the program.  Admission is offered only once in a 12 month period and if enrollment is deferred, reapplication will become necessary and priority will be given to the next family on the wait list. 

Scheduling options at Crescent Park include:

• Half-day mornings  9-1 PM
• Half-day afternoons  1:45-5 PM
• Full-days from 8-6 PM

These scheduling options are available 2, 3, or  5 days per week.  Parents are allowed to use any portion of the day that they prefer, however we suggest that you remain sensitive to your child’s ability to enter the program once the peer groups have formed for the day.  In the morning this is typically by 9:30 A.M., in the afternoon this is typically by 2:00 P.M

After you’ve been admitted, we usually recommend taking the first two weeks to transition into the program.  We can set up times for you to visit in order to slowly transition your child into the program.  Children that have had limited experiences away from home or who have temperaments that are “slow to warm” or sensitive,  may need more assistance in separating from parents than others.  Our program will make every effort to ensure the successful transition of the family and the child into the preschool setting.
