Waiting List and Priority List

If the specific classroom or care schedule desired is not available due to full enrollment, or if the child is not yet age-eligible, you may place your child on the waiting list for that particular classroom or schedule. Names will be omitted from the waiting list at the end of each semester, unless there is contact from the parent requesting to stay on the list. Please call the Eagle’s Wing Office at 265-3332 by the end of each semester to express your continued interest in order to remain on the waiting list.

Families who have terminated at the end of their semester contract and wish to re-enroll after the beginning of the next semester will be placed on the waiting list with other families and enrolled in that order. Families may not be allowed to re-enroll if they have a past due account balance, previous payment issues, or have not followed Eagle’s Wing policies and procedures described here in this booklet.

The order of the waiting list will be based on the priority list and availability of space. The priority list is as follows:

  1. Currently enrolled families desiring an alternate schedule or classroom
  2. University Apartments residents (University Houses & Eagle Heights)
  3. Community at large

Waiting List Form

Enrollment and Orientation

To secure a slot for your child, a contract, enrollment packet, registration fee, and one week of tuition (plus the activity fee, if required) must be turned in to the University Apartments Office. All fees are non-refundable. All enrollment forms (contract, emergency card, health history and emergency plan, child profile, and family profile) must be completed and turned in to the University Apartments Office at least four working days prior to the child’s first day in the program. Immunization and Health forms must be turned in within 30 days of the start date.

Parents are required to visit the classroom with their child prior to starting in the program. This provides an opportunity for you and your child to become familiar with the teachers, other children in the program, and the classroom. A checklist of pertinent classroom information is provided to you as an orientation guide. We recognize that there are many different cultural influences on a family’s child-rearing practices. In an effort to respect these traditions, we hope that observation in the classroom (especially at mealtimes) will help you to understand our program philosophy, and to decide if our program will meet your child’s needs. Classroom observations are encouraged for anyone on our waiting list.

Family Participation

Eagle’s Wing welcomes all parents at any time when you wish to observe, interact, or talk with teachers (unless access is denied by a court order). We encourage you to share any time that you may have with us and with the children. Some ways in which you might want to participate include:

  • Serving as a member on our Parent Advisory Board
  • Reading a book to the class
  • Playing some music from your culture (or by providing recorded music)
  • Sharing an experience or a cultural tradition
  • Joining us on a field trip
  • Giving a tour of your workplace
  • Fixing a toy
  • Demonstrating a hobby or special interest

Anything would be enjoyed by all. If you would like to be involved but are not sure how, just talk to one of the teachers or the Manager of Children’s Services.
