Enrollment procedure for preschool and kindergarten
The first step in our enrollment process is scheduling a tour or attending an open house. During the tour or open house, parents will learn more about our programs, philosophy and policies as well as visit the classrooms.
After the initial tour or open house, parents can apply completing an application and submitting it to our main office.
After we process an application, we will make an offer of admission by providing the family with our enrollment contract. Only the enrollment contract secures a space in our preschool program.
If the space is unavailable in the family's desired classroom, the child will be placed on the waiting list (families only need to complete the application to be on the waiting list). The enrollment contract is not signed until a space becomes available.
Please note that all applications are processed as they are received.

Children enrolling after July 15th, but starting on our start date will be required to pay the full annual tuition at the time of registration or the first monthly installment at the time of registration (along with the registration fee).

The first step to enrolling your child at Discovery is to complete an application along with the $40 application fee. If a space is available, you then will complete an enrollment contract along with the $250 enrollment fee. If the space you are applying for is not available, your child will be placed on the waitlist. Their waitlist application is good for the entire school year.
