Enrollment
Who can enroll, and in what order
Storytime is open to faculty, staff, students and neighbors. When a place opens in a room, we offer it in this order.
- 01
Siblings
A child whose brother or sister is already enrolled.
- 02
Faculty and staff
Families where a parent teaches or works on the campus.
- 03
Students
Families where a parent is a student on the campus.
- 04
Neighbors
Families who live or work nearby.
How the waitlist works
Within each group, the family that has waited longest goes first. We keep one waitlist per room, and a child who moves up a room keeps their place on the list for the next one.
Apply early; infants wait longest. There are fewer places in the youngest rooms, and each one opens only when a child moves up or leaves.
Your place on a list isn't a promise of a place, and we'll tell you honestly how long families in your group have been waiting when you apply.
