About our Wait List
When enrollment demand exceeds available space, prospective families who have completed the application process are added to our Wait List. Gardenview emphasizes maintaining a balanced classroom environment. We seek that balance by taking into consideration the distribution of a number factors which you may have highlighted in your application. When a spot becomes available we will look to our Wait List for a child whom we determine most closely matches the vacancy, and which builds on the continuity and state of balance in our classrooms.
What this means for prospective families is that your place on the Wait List is not determined solely by “your place in line” but rather how well, at the time of placement, your child fits the criteria of our needs for a balanced classroom environment. Your spot on the Wait List will continue into the following year if you have not been placed.
