Open Enrollment Process: What You Need to Know
Thrive Early Learning Academy is excited to announce the upcoming open enrollment period, which begins on January 2, 2025. This enrollment is for families seeking spots for their children starting in June and August 2025. Here’s a comprehensive overview of the process to help potential families navigate their way through enrollment.
Step 1: Application Submission
To get started, all potential families must fill out the application form available on our website. Please note that to be eligible, applicants must be at least 3 years old and potty trained by August 2025. An application fee of $20 is required at the time of submission. This fee will be credited towards the annual registration fee if your child is accepted into our program.
Step 2: Open House Invitation
Once your application is submitted, you will receive an invitation to our Open House, which will take place at Thrive Early Learning Academy on Sunday, January 19, from 1:00 PM to 4:00 PM. This event is a fantastic opportunity for families to explore our facilities, meet the staff, and learn more about our educational philosophy and programming.
During this time, returning Thrive students will be finalizing their schedules for the next school year. They have priority in selecting additional days they may need for their children. Once their schedules are confirmed, we will have a clearer understanding of how many new applicants we can accommodate.
Step 3: Acceptance Letters
Following the completion of scheduling for our current families, we will review the applications we received. Families whose schedules can be accommodated will receive acceptance letters via email. These letters will include important information, including your child’s start date.
Step 4: Parent Orientation and “Meet the Teacher” Day
Before your child’s start date, we will host an informational parent orientation session. This meeting is designed to answer any questions you may have and to go over our handbook, ensuring that you are well-informed about our policies and procedures.
Additionally, we will organize a “Meet the Teacher” day, where your child can visit the school, meet their teacher, and interact with other staff members. This visit is particularly helpful in easing the transition into the school environment. Details about this event will be sent out in a “Meet the Teacher” letter closer to the start date.
Conclusion
We look forward to welcoming new families to Thrive Early Learning Academy! Our open enrollment process is designed to be as seamless as possible, and we are committed to providing a nurturing and enriching environment for your child. If you have any questions about the enrollment process or need assistance, please do not hesitate to contact our admissions office. Let’s embark on this exciting educational journey together!
