If you do not live in the area but would still like to be considered for admission to the Playschool, please call our director at (919) 403-0121 or email coopdirector@gmail.com to receive more information. Even though you cannot visit our school in person, we want to be able to share information and learn more about your child and family.

If you would like to be considered for admission, complete and send in the application form with your $25 non-refundable application fee.

Admissions Timeline

We accept applications year round. If you are interested in being placed on the waiting list for the current school year, please contact us to arrange a tour and fill out the application. We cannot place a family on the waiting list without a completed application. You will be contacted with the next steps should a space become available.

If you are applying for the 2012-2013 school year, please plan to attend our annual Open House on January 21st, 2012 from 10:00 a.m. until noon and/or contact us to arrange a tour. Applications turned in by February 1, 2012 will be considered first. Applications received after February 1st will be added to the waiting list and considered based on space availability.

We ask our members to re-enroll current students and to enroll their eligible siblings by January 12th, 2012. We generally have a much clearer idea of our space availability after this date.

Families will be notified of admission or waiting list placement by early March. Notification of admission or waiting list placement generally occurs via phone and email and a notification email is sent to the email address listed on the application.

On the application, parents may indicate preference for the schedule they wish for their child to attend Playschool. While we make every attempt to accommodate these requests, we can not guarantee particular days or schedules will be available. 

Once offered admission, we ask that you confirm your acceptance of the space within one week by submitting an Enrollment Agreement form, a one-time, non-refundable enrollment fee of $100, and the annual supply fee.
