Enrollment Process
The enrollment process generally begins in the Spring of the preceding school year. Current families are offered spots first, then we work from the applicant pool. Would you like to add your child to the applicant pool? Fill out the form below to be added.
Typically, school tours take place in January. We are always available to talk with you about our program! If your child is offered a spot at Central Branch we will schedule a visit for your family before you commit, so you can make your decision.
Subsidies accepted: DCYF Working Connections, City of Seattle Child Care Assistance Program, and King County Best Starts for Kids. In addition to these programs, Central Branch has its own tuition assistance available for those who qualify. We ask that you apply to the county and city programs before applying for Central Branch assistance.
