Availability varies by age group and changes through the year. Right now we have limited openings for four and five year olds, and the infant and toddler lists are long.
Joining the waitlist does not guarantee a place. It is how we reach you when one opens, and how we understand what families in Providence need.
We accept new children all year. Each age group has its own waitlist, and we contact families in order when a place opens.
Fill in our short form with your child’s age, the start date you want and the days you need.
Call or email to arrange a tour. Tours are set up with you directly, not booked online.
When a place opens in the right classroom, we reach out to start enrollment.
Complete the enrollment forms and the $25 registration fee, and set the weekly schedule your child will keep.

Years serving Providence families
Rhode Island State Pre-K classrooms
We accept payment through the Rhode Island Department of Human Services Child Care Assistance Program for families who qualify. Tell us when you join the waitlist and we can talk you through it.
Early Head Start also runs in our center through our partnership with Children’s Friend.
Our State Pre-K classrooms are funded by the Rhode Island Department of Education, which runs a lottery to choose children each year.
If your child is selected, they attend free from September through June for a six hour day. Apply directly to the state.
The full fee sheet and every family form are on our For Parents page.
