Waiting list 
A family's wait for enrollment may vary. Our waitlist does not operate on a numbered system. Instead, we use a waiting pool, meaning placement offers are based on classroom needs.

Our waitlist is based on a variety of factors.

In addition to your registration date, we take into account:

• Siblings: Whether your child currently has or has had a sibling who attends PIC (Siblings get priority.)
• Desired schedule: 5-day-a-week schedules are given priority. Then, families who are flexible about scheduling needs, such as 3 days a week – any days, will likely get a space sooner than families who request a specific schedule.
• Child’s age: We balance our multi-age classrooms by age. For example, in an infant/ young toddler classroom, we may accept 3 infants and 6 toddlers.
• Child’s gender, race, ethnicity, first language, etc.: We are intentional about having a mix of genders in each classroom. We are also intentional about having at least two children of similar racial, ethnic background, and/or shared first language in the classroom with one another when possible.
• The move up cycle of current children: Children move up on average once a year to another classroom, which opens up space in their current classroom for new children. We are mindful not to have too many new children start at the same time, so that they can get acclimated to the classroom more easily.

After submitting your application for enrollment:

• Families on our waitlist will receive quarterly emails from the enrollment coordinator with up-to-date information on enrollment at PIC, as well as an attached survey to indicate any changes in their enrollment needs.
• Please let us know if you make other child care arrangements so we have an accurate number of families who are waiting for enrollment.

Any additional questions may be answered on our Enrollment FAQ page.
