Thank you for your interest in Little Lambs at Christ Church Cranbrook. We hope you have enjoyed reviewing our web site to view just some of the highlights of our wonderful program. Because our program offers unique aspects not found elsewhere in the immediate area, we highly encourage you arrange to visit us. If you are interested in enrolling your child at Little Lambs we offer the following suggestions and resources.
The first step is to contact our director, Anne Chilingirian either by e-mail or direct at (248) 644-5210 x40 to set up an interview and tour of Little Lambs. This will allow us to arrange ample time to tour you through our program, discuss your goals for your child, answer questions you will have, and for us to be able to determine how best Little Lambs can fulfill your families needs. We are happy to provide references and connect you with a current family to speak to regarding their experiences at Little Lambs!
If you have arranged a tour with our Director, please complete an application so that we may get to know you and your family a bit better. Please bring it with you to your tour.
Infant and Toddler 2012-2013
Due to our intimate class sizes, we strongly encourage you to contact our Director well in advance of your desired start date. Both the infant and toddler programs are currently full for the 2012-2013 school year with waiting lists being established for enrollment through June 2013. Due to the popularity of our program, we cannot confirm placement beyond six (6) months before the desired start date or the next available opening.
Pre-school 2012-2013
While we have a few limited openings remaining for the 2012-2013 school year, we also foresee a waiting list being established for the preschool program after September 2012 for enrollment through June 2013. Our morning programs are customized to your desired days and a half day is up to 4.5 hours. Pre-school begins at 9 a.m. and runs to 1:00 p.m. however your child may join us for breakfast beginning at 7:30 a.m. Extended day pre-school is available each day and continues until 5:30 p.m with rest time, additional learning enrichment and snack. While we prefer children potty-trained, it is not a requirement and no additional fees are incurred.
Deposit for Enrollment
Upon your child's enrollment, a $175.00 non-refundable Deposit is due to hold your desired schedule within a thirty (30) day enrollment window. If you are enrolling siblings, a family deposit of $300.00 is due. If you would like to place a deposit to ensure your desired schedule beyond thirty (30) days, please speak with our director to review our Hold Contract policies.
Waiting List
Due to the popularity of our program and to meet existing families needs, we have to establish waiting lists from time to time. If you wish to place your child in our care and we cannot accomodate your child at the desired time, you can opt to be placed on our waiting list for enrollment. If you are on the waiting list and are contacted and cannot begin on the determined date, then you will forfeit that enrollment position. Each family on the waiting list will then move up one spot. Deposit is due in full at this time.
Priority placement is given to existing families of Little Lambs and members of Christ Church Cranbrook.
