Enrollment Process

Families who are interested in the Early Learning Center can begin the enrollment process by filling out an interest form for their child at any time. Please note that for a September 2026 start, we encourage families to complete the interest form by February 2026. If you are interested in a September 2025 start, please fill this form out as soon as possible. 


An application and interview are also required to complete the enrollment process. Please see the timeline below for more information.

Enrollment Timeline
The ELC academic year begins in September, and this is when new students enter our program. An enrollment timeline for our September start date is below. 
  • Families that have filled out the ELC interest form will be invited to our Open House that is typically held in November.
  • Enrollment for September will begin in February for age-eligible students (ages two years, nine months through five). At this time, families that completed the ELC interest form will be invited to fill out an application to tell us more about their child. Families within our community (current ELC and Fay School siblings, Fay School employees, and Fay School alumni) will be contacted first. 
  • The general enrollment phase begins in March. At this time, some applicants will be invited to the ELC for a tour and a required interview based on the spaces available in each of our classrooms. This process will continue during the spring and summer as needed.
Don't hesitate to contact us at elc@fayschool.org or 508-490-8260 with any questions.
