HOW DO I ENROLL MY CHILD?
Parents wishing to enroll new children into the program must first contact the Children’s Services Office at 440-885-2484. If space in the program is available, an enrollment packet will be sent to you. When you return the completed papers to your child's building along with the required registration fee and first week's tuition, you will be contacted to arrange your start date. Registration fees are non-refundable and paid annually. EDC Enrollment Packet must be filled out completely and returned to child’s school along with the first week’s tuition BEFORE a child can start.
WHAT DO I DO IF MY SCHEDULE CHANGES?
If you need to permanently change your schedule, you will need to contact the EDC office to find out if space is available for your child. You will then need to complete a new Service Agreement before you can change service.
