All completed applications received will be processed on a first-come, first-served basis and placed into classes as space permits, or onto the waiting list.
Enrollment Update
Enrollment for 2020-21 preschool programs began with a 4-week lottery process which has now been completed and we are filling the remaining class spots on a first-come, first-serve basis as space permits within the enrollment criteria. If all of your choices are full, you will be placed on a waiting list and offered a placement if space becomes available. Priority for preschool classes is given to Richfield school district families who meet eligibility requirements set by state funding for early childhood. Out-of-district (open enrollment) applicants will be placed on a waiting list and contacted if space becomes available later.
