These applicants will be notified of their child’s enrollment status by April 1. If spots are not available for all applicants, children will be placed on a waiting list. Applications will be processed on a rolling admissions basis after April 1.
PLEASE NOTE: Children must be 3 years old by December 1st in order to enroll at UCNS.
