Admissions and Enrollment

Families are invited to tour the center, meet the staff, and learn more about our program. To ensure that a staff program is available, it is best to make an appointment in advance. At the time of the visit a request may be made to receive additional information on how to enroll your child. Enrollment placements are granted from the Center Waiting List. The Waiting List maintains identifying information as well as contact information on each individual. Each Waiting List applicant will remain on file until a childcare space becomes available and the family is contacted.

Enrollment Priorities

Enrollment priorities are based on availability. Consideration is given to families based on the following priorities:

1. Parent is a ECHD student at Contra Costa College
