Registration FAQ
When does registration open and how many spots are available?
The number of spots available varies from year to year. In-house registration occurs in January and priority is given to current students and siblings followed by alumni (families who previously attended VCSC). Registration is then open to the broader community and waitlisted families are invited to attend an Open House in February. Although attendance is not mandatory, registration priority is given to those who attend. Offers for spots in all our programs are usually communicated by March.
How long is the waitlist?
You can add yourself to the waitlist by submitting an application online. You can do this at any time (even before your child is born). Because our classes are co-ed and mixed-age, we try to balance the overall composition. Your child’s position on the waitlist is based on date of application but also takes these factors into consideration. Please contact our Registrar at VCSCadm@gmail.com and we’ll let you know if anything is available now or might be available soon.
Do you have space in any of your current programs?
From time to time space becomes available during the school year. We encourage you to complete an application form to be placed on our waitlist. Please contact our Registrar at VCSCadm@gmail.com and we’ll let you know if anything is available now, or might be available soon.
Can my child attend preschool if they haven’t turned 3 yet?
Our school year runs from September to June. Your child can start preschool in September the same calendar year they turn three (3). For example, if your child turns three (3) in December 2022, they can attend preschool in September 2022. If you child turns three (3) in January 2023, then can attend preschool in September 2023.
What is your refund policy?
The $35 application fee is non-refundable. Once a family has accepted a spot in the school, the one-time registration fee, September and June tuition fees are non-refundable.
If a family decides to withdraw during the school year, the remaining tuition is refundable if one (1) calendar month’s written notice is given on the first of the month. If written notice is given later than the first of the month (i.e. February 6th) the following month’s tuition (i.e. March) is forfeited and the remaining months (in this example, April and May) would be refunded.
“Our three boys attended VCSC and they all loved their experiences.”
“The Reggio methodology helped them develop many problem solving skills by doing things with their hands and by negotiating and interacting in so many projects with other children. This guided play-based teaching methodology equipped them with greater creativity to write and tell stories as well as stronger fine motor skills once they started school.” - Martha A.
