Enrollment FAQ
How do I apply?
Submit an application and nonrefundable fee for each child prior to the due date for your group.
An open lottery (random drawing) is held in late January. Applications received after January are accepted as space
allows or placed on the waiting list in the order received. Redeemer Lutheran Preschool does not
discriminate on the basis of race, color or national and ethnic origin in admission or administration of its
educational policies.
Does my child need to be potty trained?
Yes. Children three years of age and older must be potty trained. It is not required of
younger children.
If I'm on the waiting list, does my number change?
No, your waiting list number remains the same. As we work through the list,
the number of applicants ahead of you decreases.
When will an opening occur?
It is difficult to know when an opening will occur. As soon as space becomes available, we contact the next person on the waiting list. In the past, there has been movement in April before the deposit is due
and during the summer months and early in the school year.
Is it too late to submit an application?
It is rarely too late to submit an application. Applications received after January are accepted as space
allows or placed on the waiting list in the order received.
My child is too young right now. Can I put her on the waiting list?
No. Our waiting list is created during each new enrollment cycle and lasts through the coming school year.
While we don't have a waiting list, we maintain a mailing list of interested families with younger children.
This ensures that we can contact you at the appropriate time or send new information if our process changes.
What is required after my child is accepted at Redeemer Lutheran Preschool?
There are 3 items required to confirm enrollment:
- First and last month's tuition (deposit)
- Original birth certificate or passport
- Virginia School Entrance Health Form (completed within 1 year prior)
