Any person who would like to enroll their child in our preschool services must first submit an application. Parents and Guardians enrolling a child or children have the responsibility to complete and sign all enrollment forms accurately. When you sign the enrollment forms you are certifying, under penalty of perjury, that you have the legal authority for the child. Parents who have legal joint custody will have equal access to all information regarding the child, including enrolling and making changes to the enrollment paperwork. A current court order will be required to prevent a parent or legal guardian from activities such as picking up, visiting, or accessing paperwork.
