APPLICATIONS FOR THE 2021-22 SCHOOL YEAR

We are now accepting applications for the 2021-22 school year! Please complete the online application, and submit it with the application fee. Payment details are on the bottom of this page. This application is for the 2021-22 school year only! Please call or email if you are looking for an immediate placement.

Once a completed application is received, a visit (most likely on Zoom) will be scheduled. We ask that both parent(s) and child attend so we can have a chance to meet one another – and you can ask questions and learn more about our program.

Notification for all our classes begins in mid-February and rolls through the spring. We keep a year-round wait list of applicants.

Please note: Children must be at least 2.0 by September 1, 2021 to attend the Collective in 2021-22.

Tuition and Fees 2020-2021

Fees are based on the number of days a child is enrolled and are subject to annual adjustment (usually an increase of roughly 3%).

We do not currently accept vouchers. Feel free to call or email us about the Admissions process.

Financial Aid

Financial aid is available at the Collective. Awards are determined based on the needs of the incoming families and the aid available, and varies each year. Awards will be offered after your scheduled Zoom visit.

Examples of financial awards in previous years:

• A family of four earning $94,000 was awarded $10,000. With the aid, the family paid $1,230 per month for a 3 year old in full-time preschool
• A family of three earning $134,000 was awarded $10,000. The family paid $1,190 per month for a 4 year old in full-time preschool.
• A family of four earning $98,000 was awarded $5,000. The family paid $1,790 per month for a 2 year old in full-time preschool

If you are interested in financial aid, please check the appropriate box on the Application form to receive the Financial Aid form.

Submitting Your Application

Completed applications received after January 1, 2021 will be placed on an active wait list, with priority given to applications submitted by January 1st. We ask that you submit a new application form at each winter admissions period if you have previously been placed on the wait list so we have your updated information. No application fee is required when you re-apply.

Payment options for the application fee are a) $50 in cash or check payable to “Park Slope Child Care Collective” by mail or drop-off or b) $52 with credit card using the Buy Now button, which includes fees incurred through this payment option. Please include the applicant’s (child’s) full name in the special instructions option of the final checkout page if using the credit card option.
