What to do...

Step 1: Complete the online registration form.  To do so, click here or navigate to the Online Enrollment page of the enrollment website.

Step 2: Receive confirmation from the Enrollment Center that your child's enrollment has been completed.

Step 3: Schedule a Kindergarten screening.  All of our kindergartners are screened prior to entering the classroom to ensure they are placed in a classroom that will best fit their educational needs.  All screenings are conducted by South Street Early Learning Center teachers and staff.  More information about screenings will be provided here at a later date.
