About The Application Process
2026/2027 School Year information:
Admission is conducted on a first come, first served basis, with priority given first to current Temple members and then to families of children enrolled at the time of application. The Early Learning Center serves children ages 12 months through age 6 regardless of ethnic, racial or religious background. All families must reapply each year, but currently enrolled families are given priority registration to reserve their space for the next year.
Within 4 weeks from submitting your application, you will receive an email from Elinor Rifkin, Director of Admissions, to either continue with the registration process or inform you that you have been put on our waitlist. Our registration process will then consist of making your registration deposit. This deposit consists of a $100 registration fee and one month’s tuition. This deposit is non-refundable and non-transferable, but it is credited back to your total yearly tuition amount.
As always, registration will begin in January 2026 and consist of an online application and a $50 application fee.
ALL REGISTRATION WINDOWS WILL OPEN AT 7am. If you apply on a date that is not your priority window, your application will not be considered, and you will be asked to re-apply on your appropriate date. The application form will be open and available on the day of registration.
