Registration Process

STEP 1: Tour our School

We understand that choosing a preschool for your child is a big decision.  We encourage you to get to know us.  Schedule a tour to come and spend a little time in the classroom!  Email our office at bethanybearspreschool@gmail.com to set up a time to visit.  AND... check us out on Instagram!!

STEP 2: Apply

Sometimes during the academic year we have space open up for incoming students. Feel free to get in touch with us to see if we have any current openings.

Registration for the 2024-2025 school year begins January 11, 2024 at 9am. All families (current, returning or new) may turn in their forms via email or in person at this time.  Current families have until late January to submit their registration applications to receive priority placement. Beginning February 1, 2024, returning and new families will be placed in classes. More information about the registration process is on the registration form.

If you are interested in applying, please download the registration form and registration questionnaire for each child you are enrolling.  The forms can be filled out online and emailed to bethanybearspreschool@gmail.com.  They can also be downloaded, printed, filled out, and returned in person.

Step 3: Placement and Enrollment

Beginning February 1st, returning students, former BB families and new families will be placed in classes.  Families will be notified about class placement via email and receive an acceptance letter via USPS mid-February.

CLASS ASSIGNMENT PROCESS

Children must meet the Age Guidelines for the selected classroom.  Assignments to classrooms happen in the following order:

1. Re-Enrollment Registration for currently enrolled students
2. Priority Registration for:
   1. Siblings of re-enrolled students
   2. Siblings of alumni
3. Open Registration for new families/students

We do our best to accommodate your first classroom choice, but based on class size and demand, we may offer you an alternate classroom.

WAITLISTS

As classes fill, a wait list for each class is generated for pending applications. Please keep in mind that class lists can change between now and the start of school in September.  Please do not be discouraged if you are placed on a waitlist.  You will be notified if and when a slot opens.
