Enrollment

The N E Miles ECDC ECDC is an academic program within the School of Education and serves as a demonstration preschool for research to advocate developmentally appropriate practices for young children. Families from the campus and community are invited to apply for enrollment to the program. Enrollment is determined on a space available basis year to year. Priority is given to siblings of currently enrolled children. 

Enrollment applications may be taken as soon as a child is born, but may not be activated before then. Our waiting list is maintained for each age group in order of application date and priority. We use the waiting list to make enrollment offers, but reserve the right to structure class groups to support appropriate diversity, gender distribution, and accommodation for children with special needs. Applications are kept active until either the parents request removal from the list, or the child becomes age ineligible for admission.

GETTING STARTED

We're so glad you're interested in ECDC! We can't wait to meet you and your child. These are the steps you'll need to take to add your child to the waitlist and enroll your child (when the time comes).
  • How to Apply (waitlist info)

    First stop, the waitlist. You can add your child to the waitlist at birth. We ask for a $20 application fee to add your child. Children are placed on the waitlist by application date. Your child will remain on the waitlist until you request they be removed.  

    You will be notified if a spot becomes available.  

  • Tuition

    You have several options when paying your tuition:

    • Annually  
    • Per semester  
    • Eight equal monthly payments  

    Tuition and registration fees are collected separately for each of the two summer sessions. 

    Monthly tuition payments are due on the first of each month.  

    Parents can pay tuition through the Marketplace.

  • Scholarships

    A limited number of need-based tuition scholarships are available annually through the Nathan E. Miles Endowment fund. You should submit you application at the time of registration for the fall term. We announce awards in late summer/early fall. 

    Scholarship Application
  • Enroll

    Once you receive notification that your child can enroll in ECDC you will need to pay a non-refundable registration fee of $150. This holds your child's spot throughout the summer.  

    Children are placed in their class groups based on their age as of September 1.  

    ECDC follows the academic calendar and children will stay with their class group throughout the year.  

    The enrollment process for fall begins in February.
