Is it true that the waiting list is very long and you have to apply way in advance?
The Children’s Center does not accept applications of children young than 2 years old. Typically, we get 98% of the applications submitted within a year. Our largest enrollment period is at the beginning of the Fall semester in August with a few possible spaces in January and May of each year.
