感謝您對加入我們的興趣

Goldman Family Preschool

We are fully enrolled for the 2025-2026 school year and through the summer of 2026.


We will be accepting waitlist applications from April through December of 2025 for the 2026-2027 school year. To be placed on the applicant pool/waitlist, we require families to complete an application form and submit it along with the required $25 Waitlist Process Fee to our administrative office. There is no applicant fee for current family siblings.


You can print and mail, email or use the online form to complete your application.

Parent Tour


Once a space for your child becomes available, a tour with the School Director will be offered. These tours take place in the spring, and we will contact you directly by email if a space becomes available. At that time, the required forms will be shared.

Play Visits


必須安排一次遊戲參觀,而且只會安排給已被錄取到幼兒園班級並已完成申請流程前兩步的家庭的孩子。


家長必須陪同孩子參加遊戲活動。如果您的孩子目前正在接受某個託育機構或個人的照顧,我們將向您發送一份「現有託育機構推薦表」。請他們填寫此表格並直接郵寄給我們,收件者請註明:GFP主任。


This step must be completed before final enrollment can be processed to ensure that our preschool program and curriculum are the best fit for your child and family.

Waitlist


如需列入申請人庫/候補名單,請家庭填寫申請表並連同25美元的申請費一併提交至我們的行政辦公室。現有家庭成員中的兄弟姊妹無需繳交申請費。


Our waitlist closes during the registration period each year, starting from the third week of January, and we do not accept any waitlist applications during this time. The waitlist for the following year opens on April 3rd. If you applied and are on the current year's waitlist, you will automatically be moved to the following year's waitlist in April for the classroom your child's age is eligible for. If you wish to be added to the waitlist, we will begin accepting new applications for the next school year, starting in April. Please note that being placed on the applicant pool/waitlist does not enroll your child and is not a guarantee of enrollment. 


As an exceptional NAEYC Accredited Center, the majority of families that enroll stay with GFP for all five years of preschool. As a small preschool serving 5 classrooms, infant through Preschool age 5, we have a limited number of open spaces that may become available for new families each year. We operate from our applicant pool/waitlist to enroll after our current family, sibling, and priority enrollment period ends mid-February. We will operate from our waitlist from mid-February to March 31st to fill any available spots if space allows. 


常問問題

  • 加入候補名單需要付費嗎?

    Yes, there is a non-refundable $25 application fee to add your child to our waitlist. Application fee payment can be made online, by phone with a credit card, or sent by mail with your application as a check or money order. This fee may be waived for economic hardship. This is a one-time fee.

  • 候補名單是如何運作的?

    Families are placed in an "applicant pool" on our waitlist along with any current family, sibling, or other priority status enrollment information provided to us at the time of your application. The waitlist is dated but decisions are multifactorial as we consider priority enrollment periods. The waitlist is not necessarily established in the order we received applications, but also based on priority status qualifiers and best fit factors needed per cohort.  Once our current family and priority status enrollment periods end, we review the waitlist to offer any available slots for the coming school year. We are unable to guarantee a spot in any classroom until we have completed our priority status enrollment period or a space has opened.

  • We will determine by early spring if we have space to enroll families from the applicant pool/waitlist and will reach out only if space allows. It is difficult to determine when an open space will align with your needs and preferences, and our availability. We start the process by assessing the needs of our current families, then we work from our applicant pool/waitlist in order of priority status and cohort best fit. All families on our waitlist will be notified by email when we are fully enrolled.

  • 是的,不過目前的趨勢是,我們每年在家庭優先、兄弟姊妹優先和名額招滿的招生期內,所有班級的招生人數基本上都已滿員。在優先招生期結束後,如果還有空位,我們會從申請人/候補名單中招收學生。但要注意的是,並非所有優先家庭都能獲得入學名額,而且每年都有相當長的候補名單。

  • 兒童的新年何時開始?

    The school year begins in September, the day after Labor Day, and runs until mid-June. New children start in September, and then we enroll on a rolling basis during the school year if space allows. Families applying for our waitlist are applying for the school year calendar, Sept-June. Once a child is enrolled, they are eligible for the summer camp program following that school year. Summer registration is optional, and enrollment opens to current families in March. We will only open spots in our summer camps to the public if staffing and space allow.

  • Yes, we schedule tours once we indicate there is a space available for your child. We typically conduct tours in the early spring.

  • 我是否需要通知您才能將我的孩子轉到下一年齡層的班級候補名單?

    您無需重新申請即可保留在我們的等候名單上。我們會在八月聯絡各位家長,確認是否希望繼續留在名單上。如果您已在其他中心報名或不再希望保留在我們的等候名單上,也請告知我們,以便我們將您從名單中移除。如果您在提交申請和費用後更改了電子郵件地址或其他聯絡方式,請務必與我們聯絡。收到郵件後,請務必按照郵件中的說明操作,以繼續保留在名單上。如果您希望繼續保留在名單上,您的孩子將免費在等候名單上再保留一年。如果孩子達到我們課程的年齡上限,或家長提出要求,我們將把孩子從等候名單中移除。

  • 一旦您確認有意繼續辦理入學手續,我們將安排您參觀校園。您需要提交所有入學申請表格,並支付500美元的不可退還註冊費。參觀結束後,學校負責人將與您聯繫,確認入學事宜和最終的入學安排。

  • Please see our tuition rates for the current year HERE.

  • Please see this year's school calendar to see when we are closed for Teacher PD Days, Vacation Weeks, and Holidays. We operate a preschool program with a specially designed curriculum and care. Our preschool is closed for required teacher training hours at times scheduled throughout the year, and to give our full-time staff vacation time. We encourage families to fully investigate our website, calendar, hours of operation, and curriculum to ensure they align with your family's needs and best fit. If a space is offered, families will meet with the director to discuss and answer best-fit questions for your family and child.
