23 Feb 2021-2022 Enrollment faqs
Thank you for your interest in Tiny Trees Preschool! We hope that some of the below information will be helpful to you. We will update our website as soon as we have additional 2021-22 school year information to share, and please reach out if you have any questions.
Eligibility for this mid-year enrollment:
1) Potty trained 3 year olds (no cut off birth dates for mid-year enrollments)
2) Start date no later than March 1st
3) Pay a $350 Enrollment Deposit and March tuition
To enroll for the current school year, please visit this page.A: To be eligible for the upcoming school year, students should be at least 3 years old by August 31st and have not yet turned 6. All students should be comfortable using a portable potty with minimal teacher assistance prior to the start of class.
Unlike indoor programs, children will need to frequently negotiate layers of clothing on their way to and from the bathroom. Therefore, the ability to regulate toileting is an important skill for an outdoor preschooler to develop with the support of our educators and their families. We make accommodations to include children with known or suspected disabilities or developmental delays in our program. However, we do not have diapering facilities on site. Please contact us at admissions@tinytrees.org to discuss any accommodations needed for your child.
A: We cannot make exceptions to our enrollment eligibility during the beginning of the school year.
During the school year, we can occasionally make exceptions to our age requirement/enrollment eligibility on a case-by-case basis. This is done in partnership with families and the teaching team, and based on a number of factors, including student readiness (especially potty independence, comfort using a portapotty), classroom dynamics and capacity. Unfortunately, this can’t be assessed before the school year has started.
To be eligible for this State funded program, families must meet the following requirements:
- The child who needs subsidized care must be a U.S. citizen or legal resident.
- The family must live in Washington state.
- The family's income must be at or below 200 percent of the federal poverty level (FPL) when applying, or 220 percent of FPL when reapplying. Learn more about eligibility and income guidelines here.
- The parent must be employed or self-employed in legal, income-generating, taxable activities; or the parent must meet all TANF/WorkFirst requirements if participating in that program. Families experiencing homelessness may be approved for up to four months to resolve issues surrounding homelessness.
- The parent must complete the WCCC application and verification process.
- Parents of children with special needs may qualify for higher rates to help pay for additional supports needed.
