How Our Waitlist Works
Waitlist Process & Important Information
Because Little Disciples Academy is an intentionally small, home-based program, availability is limited and varies by age group. Our waitlist allows families to express interest and stay connected as openings become available.
Joining the waitlist does not guarantee enrollment, but it ensures your family will be contacted if a spot opens that aligns with your child’s age and start timeline.
How Families Move Forward From the Waitlist
Because Little Disciples Academy is a small, relationship-based program, we prioritize waitlist families who remain engaged in the enrollment process.
Families who have completed a conversation — or who are prepared to move forward with enrollment when a spot becomes available — may be contacted first when openings arise.
This approach allows us to fill spots quickly while ensuring a smooth, thoughtful transition for both children and families.
Stay Active on the Waitlist
To help us keep our waitlist current and meaningful, we may periodically reach out to families to confirm continued interest, update timing, or share availability.
Families who remain responsive and aligned with our program are best positioned to move forward when a spot opens.
We appreciate timely communication so we can serve families well and maintain program continuity.
Who the Waitlist is For
The waitlist is best suited for families who:
✨ Are seeking full-time, faith-centered care
✨ Are flexible with timing or start dates
✨ Are planning ahead for future childcare needs
✨ Would like to be considered if an opening becomes available
Families seeking immediate placement may be encouraged to schedule a conversation to discuss current availability.
How the Waitlist Works
Step 1: Submit the Waitlist Form
Submit basic information about your child and desired start date.
Step 2: Review & Placement
Waitlist placement is generally based on the date received and may also consider age group availability, sibling enrollment, and program balance.
Step 3: Invitation to Connect
As openings become available, families on the waitlist will be contacted to schedule a conversation and discuss next steps.
Important Waitlist Information
The waitlist is best suited for families who:
✨ A non-refundable waitlist fee is required to join the waitlist
✨ Waitlist placement does not guarantee enrollment
✨ Enrollment decisions are made in alignment with licensing ratios and program balance
✨ Priority may be given to families who have completed a conversation, the enrollment process or are ready to move forward when a spot becomes available.
✨ Declining a spot does not automatically remove a family from the waitlist
Full waitlist and enrollment terms are outlined in the Waitlist Agreement.
When to Schedule a Conversation Instead
Considering Enrollment for Our May Opening?
Families seeking care for our planned May opening — or who would like to be considered quickly if an opening arises — are encouraged to schedule a conversation rather than joining the waitlist.
Conversations allow us to explore availability, discuss early enrollment options, and ensure families are prepared to move forward if a spot becomes available.
