How to register your child

During the current school year, registration is an open process if there are spots available. If you are interested in registering your child when the current school year is already in progress, please do not fill out the online form; send an email to woodenladderpreschool@gmail.com or call the school at 412-761-9195 to inquire about currently available spaces in the program. Thank you!

Closed Registration: Parents of students currently enrolled and in good financial standing will be asked to participate in closed registration for the following school year. A link will be sent to the families of currently enrolled students prior to registration. If you do not register your child during the time period allotted for closed registration, you will be placed on a first come first served basis the day following closed registration. Morning or afternoon spots are not guaranteed.

Open Registration: Siblings of current students and CPCBA families will be enrolled following Closed Registration in the order they registered online starting January 1. Students new to the program will be placed in the order they registered beginning January 1, and following siblings and CPCBA families. Morning and afternoon spaces are not guaranteed and are offered based on availability. Open Registration students are not placed unless we receive their complete registration packet, and must include a check for the registration fee ($40 per student/$60 per family). Open Registration forms(new families only) will be accepted beginning January 1, to get on the waiting list for the following year. Checks will not be deposited unless your child is offered a placement.

Special Note:  A child must be the class’s required age by September 1 in order to enroll in the desired Wooden Ladder class.  For example, a child must be 3 by September 1 to enroll in Wooden Ladder 3.
