Enrollment

Semillitas Early Learning Center is committed to fostering an inclusive learning environment for all children, regardless of age, gender, race, religion, or ability level. We do not deny enrollment based on a child's race, religion, or whether they have special needs. Semillitas makes every reasonable effort to accommodate children with diverse needs. Through open communication and cooperation, our goal is to develop inclusive, supportive solutions that facilitate each child's full participation, growth, and development.

First, Visit, Schedule a tour to see if our program is the right fit for your family.

Second, Waitlist, Complete and submit the waitlist form. See Waitlist below for more information. 

Finally, Enroll, Once a space is offered, parents must accept the offer in writing within 2 days of receipt along with a non-refundable registration and all required forms by the specified deadline. These include medical records, proof of vaccinations, and our signed Parent Handbook agreement.  

Upon registering your child with Semillitas, a one-time, non-refundable registration fee of $450 per child is required and must be paid prior to the child's first day of attendance. Acceptable forms of payment for registration fees include PayPal and Brightwheel. 

Tuition is billed on a monthly basis. Parents/guardians will receive an invoice through the Brightwheel application at the end of each calendar month. Full payment is due on the first of the subsequent month. 

The current monthly tuition for this school year, September 2024 - August 2025, rate is $2,375, for all ages. 

Payments received on or after the 5th of the month will be considered late and subject to a $10 per day late fee. Repeated late payments may result in temporary suspension of enrollment or permanent disenrollment at the discretion of school administration. 

Semillitas does not offer discounted tuition rates for extended student leave. Tuition payments are due continuously throughout the academic year. In the event of extenuating circumstances requiring an extended absence, parents are advised to promptly contact the Director to discuss options. 

Parents are required to provide the center with 30 calendar days' advance written notice prior to withdrawing their child from enrollment. Should parents fail to provide the required 30-day written notice, they will remain financially responsible for the ensuing month's tuition payment. 

Any family seeking to re-enroll their child will be required to complete a new registration, contingent upon space availability. Applicable enrollment fees will be due upon registration.

Semillitas utilizes Brightwheel's online registration capabilities for waitlist management and enrollment purposes. There is a non-refundable $75 waitlist fee. Please keep in mind that placement on our waitlist does not guarantee enrollment at a specific time. However, families who complete the waitlist application process will receive priority status for any openings ahead of non-applicants.

We are unable to provide a definitive estimate as to how long waitlist timelines may be as enrollment fluctuations vary from year to year.
