     Rates, Fees, Age Requirements

We could not provide all of the opportunities and celebrations that we do without the help and support of our parents and Room Moms. The responsibilities of a Room Mom vary a bit depending on age level, but we have provided a general list of roles and responsibilities below including contact information if you might consider helping!

Request to Enroll BCLC, 6 Weeks - 2 Years

Complete all requested information below.

For your information: All of these programs are “full time
programs” offered daily from 7:00 AM – 6:00 PM. There
are no reductions in fees for children who attend less
than these times. We request that all children arrive by
9:00 AM and parents are certainly free to establish pick
up times that best fit their family schedule. Enrollment
vacancies are extremely limited. When a vacancy
occurs in any specific class the current waiting list is
reviewed according to the following guidelines and
priorities:

· First priority is given to parents (Belin members)
with another child already enrolled

· Second priority is given to parents (non-Belin
members) with another child already enrolled

· Third priority is given to parents (Belin members)
with no child previously enrolled,

· Fourth priority given to parents (non-Belin members)
with no child previously enrolled

· Ability to accept the invitation to enroll your child
within a two week window is required

As each category is reviewed to fill a vacancy – the
administration of the center evaluates and makes
admission decisions that are in the best interest of
each individual child and the center. The “received”
date of the application within each of these priority
categories is one of the criteria used to determine
who is offered the vacancy.

Our waiting list is updated each April 1^st and it is the responsibility of the parents to renew their application by contacting BCLC in writing between March 15^th and April 1^st each year. Failure to communicate with the BCLC Enrollment Coordinator will result in forfeiture of your spot on the wait list. We are unable to place an unborn child on our wait list until the Expectant Mother has provided a due date Once the child has been born, we ask the parents to notify the BCLC Enrollment Coordinator who will determine if a vacancy is available. Ability to accept an invitation to enroll your child within a two week window is required.
