Information

Hope Grows Child Development Center accepts children from 6 weeks to 12 years of age. Most children at the center are in full-time care or part-time care. The center accepts children on a first come, first serve basis. Children are accepted based on available space in the age classrooms. We will put your child’s name on our reservation’s list if there are no spaces available and contact you as soon as a space become available. Hope Grows Child Development Center admits children and hires employees on a nondiscriminatory basis, without regard to race, ethnicity and or religion.

Parents interested in enrolling a child or children should make an appointment to tour the center. The next step in the process is to have an interview with the director. At this time, parents will be given a Parent Packet containing the following basic forms:

• Enrollment Agreement
• Emergency Contact Form
• Health Inventory
• Immunization Form
• Blood Lead Test Form
• Parent Policy Agreement
• Diet Modifications for Children with a food allergy or dietary preference
• Food Program (Meal Benefit) Form
• Topical Ointment Authorization Form
• Getting to Know my child
• Financial Agreement

Health Inventory, Blood Lead and Immunization forms must be completed and signed by a physician prior to the first day. Licensing rules dictate that children cannot attend the center without the proper paperwork on file. Please complete all the necessary documents prior to your child’s start date. Forms must be submitted at least one day prior to your child’s start date.
