Enrollment

Enrollment is divided into 3 sessions.
(Exact dates may vary.)

Fall/Winter — September – December

Winter/Spring — January – May

Summer — June – August

The following items are needed before a child can begin class.

  • Child Enrollment Application- Provided on KangarooTime app link

  • Emergency Medical Form- Provided on KangarooTIme app link

  • Handbook Acknowledgement and Policy Signatures- Provided on KangarooTime app link

  • Certificate of Child Health Examination (IL444-4737) - dated less than 6 months prior to enrolling

  • Copy of Birth Certificate

  • DCFS Summary of Regulations of Receipt

Each family can schedule any combination of days at any time during a session to fit their child’s needs as long as the class is not full on the day(s) requested. Families will enroll their child through our app called KangarooTime. The parent app to download for updates, communication, and access to account is called KT CONNECT.

Once enrolled for a session, registration fees will be accepted and payment will be expected weekly for the scheduled days in that session.

After your child is enrolled, the registration fee and forms have been collected and the session has commenced, you are obligated for that full session’s enrollment period and fees. (A minimum two week notice is required if a child is going to stop attending classes.)

If payment is not received for a scheduled week, written notice will be provided to that family stating that the payment is due. If not paid within one week’s time, participation for the child will be suspended until payment is received. If payment is not received within a two week period, enrollment for that child will be terminated and the remaining session fees will be due in full. Upon termination, the director may fill the vacant space with a child on the waiting list.

If a family does not pay in the two week period and loses the enrollment space, they may enroll again for a future session so long as their outstanding balance is paid, and they must also pay the registration fee again.

Please refer to the following forms for signatures needed by DCFS when enrolling your child on the KangarooTime app link provided by Ms. Jorden.
