Guidelines
Children ages two to six are eligible to attend the Center. The Center requires all prospective students and their parents to meet with Center staff, who will assess each child's individual needs. The interview is a good opportunity for parents to visit the Center, ask questions, and see whether the Center seems like a good fit for their children. At this time, parents will receive all necessary forms needed to enroll their children in the Center.

In keeping with the mission of the Center, the Center commits a majority of its enrollment to children eligible for the Child Care Assistance Program.

Requirements for Child Care Assistance Program
To receive child care assistance, families must live in Fairfax County and meet the county's income requirements for tuition assistance. Famlies must be working at least 30 hours a week during the day, Monday-Friday, or be going to school full-time.
