APPLICATION INFORMATION
Click on the link below to download an application for the 2010-2011 school year. Applications will also be available at the Open Houses.
Applications may be submitted at the Open Houses, or at any time before the application deadline of February 2, 2010. Applications received after the deadline will be filed as part of a waiting list, with no application fee needed at the time of submission. Children born in 2006 and 2007 will be eligible for admission in September 2010. Children must turn three years of age by December 31 of 2010 to be eligible to attend Chickpeas in 2010. Please note that Chickpeas does not use a first-come, first-served admissions process, so there is no need to apply early.
We plan to mail notification letters to families during the first week of March. The letters will indicate whether we can offer a space for September. Families are asked to reply and send in deposits by March 8th. Our waitlist will move as soon as we are able to open up spaces.
TOUR INFORMATION
It is strongly suggested that parents sign up for tours during January. Tours allow parents to see Chickpeas “in action.” Most tours are scheduled at 10 am during school days; sign-up sheets will be available at the Open Houses. An equal number of tour slots will be available at each Open House. Parents who cannot attend an Open House can contact us after January 9th to schedule a tour.
HOW TO CONTACT US
We hope that this website helps you to learn about Chickpeas. There is no need to contact us before attending an Open House or submitting an application. If, however, you would like to be in touch about special circumstances or specific questions, you can reach us at admissions@chickpeas.org. (We prefer e-mail messages to telephone calls, which can disrupt the children and teachers during the school day.)
