it all begins with a Tour

We've found the best way for you, and us, to determine if KidWorks is a good fit for your family, is to meet you and your child in person. In addition to showing you around, we'll answer your questions, and we may have some of our own. We'll want to understand your expectations and be certain we're the right school to meet them. (If we're not, chances are we can refer you to a school that can.)

To arrange a personal tour, contact your preferred location’s Director:

About Our Waitlist

We don't maintain a chronological waitlist. We have a waiting pool of families who have expressed interest. When a space becomes available, we go to the waitlist for a  new child who will best fit the mix of the existing class.  

When a space becomes available we'll want a child of roughly the same age, since we keep the children grouped according to when they'll enter Kindergarten. For example we may not want to fill a spot with a child who'd be significantly older or younger that his classmates, even if technically they'll all be in the same Kindergarten class.

If the class is presently having some management issues we may choose to not fill the spot at all and give the teacher some breathing room. We also try to balance the mix of boys and girls. 

We will keep you on file unless and until a space becomes available for you, unless you ask to be removed. However, once a space has been offered to you and it is declined, we'll remove you from the list. 

Please note that we do not accept waitlist entries or confirm availability by telephone. Prior to being placed on the waitlist, please schedule and complete a tour.

If possible, both parents should attend as well as your child.  After your tour, we'll check availability. If we don't presently have availability we'll add you to the school's waitlist.

We encourage parents on the waitlist to check in with us periodically. KidWorks will never charge you a fee to be on our waitlist.
