Enrollment Process
If you wish to apply for enrollment for your child in the Brookline Schools Staff Children’s Center, please return an application and a $30 application fee at any point in the year. All applications received by the third Friday in January are considered at the same time and will receive priority. We are usually able to notify families by the end of February or beginning of March of their application's status.
The application form can be downloaded from this page and then emailed or mailed to us. At this time, we cannot accept payment through our website which means that application fees must be mailed.
We host an in-person Open House on the first Friday in January from 3:30 - 5:00. This year that will be January 7, 2022. This is an opportunity to speak with our teachers and see the classroom spaces and curriculum documentation.
Families may enroll for early AM care (7:15 - 8:00), midday care (8:00 - 3:30), and late PM care (3:30 - 5:00). There is a minimum requirement of five midday sessions per week. There is no minimum requirement for early AM or late PM care when the two classrooms will be combined.
The center follows the Public Schools of Brookline calendar. Tuition is paid in ten equal monthly payments and is based on the 36.4 weeks during the school year that the Center is open; that is, it does not include the holidays and vacation weeks for which the Brookline Public Schools and the Center are closed. You must pay for any days your child is absent.
We run three two-week summer programs for a total of six weeks beginning the first full week after the school year ends. This is a separate program usually consisting of one mixed-age group of toddlers and preschoolers.
Upon acceptance, a deposit of $1,000 is due for each child. This deposit is due two weeks after notification of acceptance. This payment is not refundable if your child is withdrawn from the Center after acceptance or during the school year. One half, or $500 is refunded when your child leaves the program at the end of a contracted year. It is not applied towards any monthly tuition during the school year.
On June 1 the first tuition payment is due. There are no tuition payments in July or August unless you are enrolled in the summer program. The second payment is due September 15th, with subsequent payments on the 15th of each month thereafter through May.
BSSCC admits children of any race, color, national and ethnic origin to all the rights, privileges, programs, and activities generally accorded or made available to children at the Center. It does not discriminate on the basis of race, color, national and ethnic origin, sex, age, marital status, sexual preference, disability, religion, or political beliefs in the administration of its educational policies, admission policies, or other Center administered programs.
We welcome families who either live or work in the area including Brookline school and town employees. The enrollment committee in conjunction with BSSCC teachers will look at class composition issues such as age, gender and diversity when making enrollment decisions.
