• How do you handle your waiting list?

  There are two separate waiting lists.

  -community families without a need for subsidy. Organized by age group and date of application. Priority admissions are considered before the general public.

  -If you receive an offer and decline the slot, there will not be any way to save the slot for the next year.  You would have to reapply with a new waitlist date.
