Admission

We accept enrollment applications based on availability. Growing Tree Childcare and Preschool does not discriminate on the basis of race, color, ethnic origin, religion, gender, or sexual orientation in its educational, administrative, and admission policies.

The Admissions process is generally up to the following steps:

1) Virtual tour:
Witness Growing Tree Childcare and Preschool online.  Explore our website for information about the facility, curriculum, and faculty.

2) Physical tour:
Witness Growing Tree Childcare and Preschool in person; simply complete Tour Registration Form OR call (415) 682-8889 to set up appointment

3) Telephone or email follow up:
We are happy to continue discussing the facility and our program, by phone or email: (415) 682-8889 or info@gtipreschool.com

4) Interest After Physical Tour:
If you are interested in our program after the physical tour, please complete our Enrollment Form online.
A physical tour must be completed before a child can be considered for enrollment or placed on the waiting list for the program.

5) Enrollment Offered and Accepted:
When space becomes available, a child is offered enrollment in the program. Once the offer is accepted, all enrollment forms required by the Childcare Licensing Agency must be completed by the family's orientation day. A processing fee is required to finalize the enrollment into the program and is due and payable on the family's orientation day. A child is considered enrolled in the program only after all the enrollment forms and enrollment fees have been received and reviewed and approved by the Administrator. All required licensing forms are included below for each Growing Tree Childcare and Preschool facility.

6) Enrollment Offered but Deferred:
When a child is offered enrollment in the program and if parents do not accept space at time of availability and notification, they will be placed back onto the waiting list. A child's place on the waiting list does not create any entitlement to enrollment in the program. Growing Tree Childcare and Preschool does not charge any application fees prior to enrollment.

7) Family Orientation Day:
Your child will begin familiarizing themselves with their new surroundings and environment, parents will meet the teacher and/or director to discuss eating and sleeping schedules, bring required childcare documentation, childcare payments and child's necessities, and answer any questions pertaining to the program.
