Enrollment Process

Getting Started
Enrollment inquiries to Allen Creek can be started by a phone call (734-994-3382), email (allencreekpreschool@yahoo.com), or by stopping by the school (2350 Miller Ave., Ann Arbor, Michigan 48103). Generally, we enroll students prior to the fall for the school year. Children can also be enrolled throughout the school year if places are available.

Answering Initial Questions
One of our staff will contact you to answer your questions, provide information about our programs, and set up a visit for the parent(s) or guardian(s) at the school.

Open Houses
 Open Houses are an opportunity for parents and children to see our school and meet our staff. Allen Creek holds open houses from January through May.

Parent/Guardian Visit to Allen Creek
We like to afford an opportunity for parents to have a more extended conversation with us about what you are looking for in a school for your children and you. At this time, we can respond individually to your questions and think with you about the fit between your goals and our program offerings. It is generally easier to have this discussion without your child present, but we understand this is not always possible.

Child and Parent/Guardian Visit to Allen Creek
Finally, we schedule a visit for you to bring your child to our school outside of class time to meet a classroom teacher and another administrative team member. This allows you to see your child respond to our setting and staff, and allows us to meet your child.

Registration
Registration forms and scholarship applications are available here on our website, in hard copy at school, and by email. When you register, there is a $250 non-refundable enrollment deposit required to hold your place in our program. Returning families have priority registration for fall programs until February 15th each year. Registrations for new and returning families are processed in the order in which they are received after that deadline. One month’s non-refundable tuition is due on June 1 before the start of the new school year. The remaining 9 months of tuition are due on the first of the month starting September 1 and ending May 1.

Enrollment Packets
Please see the enrollment packet checklist and forms available below. These must be completed before your child’s first day of school, and optimally by August 15th for fall enrollment. The emergency contact card is only valid in hard copy form and will be mailed to you to complete. If you need hard copies of the other forms, please contact us at Allen Creek (994-3382).
