Enrollment – FAQ

Q. Do you have room for my child?

A. As a premier preschool we have limited space in each class. Classes often fill up quickly so the sooner you follow the enrollment procedure and apply, the more likely we will have room for your child.

We do not hold spaces and do not guarantee that your child will be accepted under any circumstances before your registration is processed. In event that we do not have room for your child, we will add them to our waiting list. We will then inform you as soon as there is an opening for your child. Each year a number of children on the waiting list are accepted to the Palisades Jewish Early Childhood Center both before the school year begins and once the school year has started.
