Admissions Information


    The Priscilla Pond Flawn Child and Family Laboratory enrolls 104 children each academic year from the community at large. Children are enrolled on a first come, first served basis, with highest priority given to families currently enrolled in the program and second highest priority to families previously served.
    Children are enrolled according to their chronological age as of September 1 of the current year into the following groups:
  • Toddler groups meet 9:00 a.m. to 12:00 noon, up to six children are enrolled
  • Toddler A 18 to 21 months of age, meets Tuesday and Thursday mornings
  • Toddler B 22 to 25 months of age, meets Monday and Wednesday mornings
  • Toddler C 26 to 30 months of age, meets Tuesday and Thursday mornings
  • Toddler D 31 to 35 months of age, meets Monday and Wednesday morning
    Preschool classes have both a morning and an afternoon group. Morning classes are from 9:00 a.m. to 12:00 noon. Afternoon classes are from 1:30 to 4:30 p.m.
    Younger Preschool --age 3 years, meets Monday through Thursday, up to 15 children enrolled.
    Older Preschool - age 4 years, meets Monday through Thursday, up to 16 children enrolled.
    Five year old class - age 5 years, meets Monday through Thursday 9:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m. Up to 18 children enrolled.
    Enrollment from the waiting list begins on or about March 1 each year for the upcoming academic year, which begins in September. Enrollment during the school year happens only infrequently and then only to fill a spot vacated by a child who has moved from the program.
    A letter will be mailed on the receipt of application. The letter is your confirmation that the application was received and entered into the waiting list database. It is not possible to indicate "where" a child is on the waiting list. Most families have the best chance of enrolling their child when the child is age three years of age. The child's status on the waiting list does not change from March to March.
