Enrollment

When  a vacancy occurs within an age grouping the Enrollment Committee will  meet to determine who should be offered the opening. Although  applications for unborn infants are accepted, they will not be  considered for enrollment until the Center is given the actual date of  birth. Priority for enrollment is given to children whose parents are  employees of the Federal Government. According to Federal Guidelines the  Center must enroll at least %50 children of Federal Government  Employees.

Admissions  are based on the date of enrollment applications and efforts to  maintain a diverse population of children. The selection committee  therefore gives due consideration to enrolling a balance of boys and  girls, children of all races, ethnic backgrounds, and income levels.  Special consideration is also given to applicants who are siblings of  children currently enrolled in the Center.

​The  Enrollment Committee may also base its decision on whether to enroll a  child by looking at the projected enrollment of the next group into  which the child will enter. If the projected figure indicates that their  groups will be at their maximum when the child is scheduled to enter  the group, the committee may decide not to extend an offer to that  child.

 The policies of the Government Center Child  Care Corporation prohibits any form of unlawful discrimination on the  basis of race, color, religion, creed, sex, gender identity or gender  expression, age, marital status, national origin, mental or physical  disability, political belief or affiliation, veteran status, sexual  orientation, genetic information, and any other class of individuals  protected from discrimination under state or federal law with respect to  employment, volunteer participation and the provisions of services. Nor  will the Government Center Child care Corporation refuse to enroll a  child based on his/her toileting ability, disability, and or his HIV  status. 

Applications for enrollment are  considered without regard to race, color, religion, national or ethnic  origin. Political beliefs or marital status.

A $30 non-refundable application fee must accompany the enrollment application.

Applications are placed on a waiting list according to the date the application is received by the Center.

Active  applications are maintained in order of date within each grouping for  which the child is eligible. Applications will be withdrawn from the  waiting list only if verbal or written notice is received from the  applicant to do so.
