Open Enrollment
(next school year)
Join us April 12th at 10AM for our Turtle Time & Talk information session for potential new families for the 2021-2022 school year. The Zoom link will be sent to registered families. Register today!
Following the Turtle Time & Talk, we will begin open enrollment for the 2021-2022 school year. The links to our enrollment forms will be given to the Turtle Time & Talk participants at the end of the event and then posted to this page of our website that afternoon.
At this time, we can only hope and wish that we are back in our preschool with how things were prior to COVID come our First Day of Preschool 2021. However, we continue to monitor and follow the cautious guidelines set by our local, state and federal government. We will continue to update this page as we get closer to open enrollment (April 12th) and that first day of school (early September).
COVID-19
The safety of our families and staff is our highest priority. We are asking all families to agree to a set of community standards and school protocols for the 2020-2021 school year. Our families will each do their best to follow the current Washington State Guidelines as outlined by Governor Inslee’s Safe Start Initiative. This includes (but is not limited to) guidance on public face coverings, recreation, gatherings, and travel. We recognize that guidelines may change. Current guidelines can be found at www.coronavirus.wa.gov. For more information on how CSPS is working to keep all our families safe and healthy, please contact our Enrollment Coordinator.
Needed Documents for Enrollment
If you are enrolling for our current school year or next, your child's immunization form is required for enrollment in any preschool program in our state. Go to MyIR to access your child's immunizations (if your child is missing immunizations, contact his/her doctor to update or acquire needed immunizations). You can download the required immunization form through this site.
If you know your child is on a delayed schedule or is missing certain vaccines, please have his/her medical provider complete and sign a Certificate of Exemption.
Turtle Time & Talk
Although we cannot meet in person at this time, we are excited to share our preschool community and programs with you through this virtual event for interested parents.
Our teachers are eager to share how things are working for our current preschool families during COVID-19 and what one can expect as we get back to 'normalcy' once it becomes safe again. There will also be some time for questions. The Zoom code info will be emailed the week of the event to all those that have registered.
