Dear Parent,
We are pleased that you are considering enrolling your child in the child care center at Kean University. The center serves the children of students, faculty and staff of Kean University; as well as children from outside the campus community. As you place your child's name on the waiting list, here are a few tips to bear in mind
Enrolling Your Child
Parents or guardians interested in enrolling their child(ren) will be initially provided with a preliminary application. All forms must be completed and returned to the center before consideration of attendance will be given.
In the event all our classrooms are at capacity, we will place your child on our waiting list. You will be contacted by our center when an opening becomes available. Preliminary applicants will remain on our waiting list until an acceptance offer is extended to you, a request for removal is made or the child ages out (whichever comes first).
Priority enrollment system is established as follows (Highest to Lowest):
• Kean University Students have highest priority
• Kean University Employees
• Siblings of currently enrolled children
• Kean University Alumni
• All others, including the community, will have lowest priority.
**At the time of registration, please notify us if your child has any underlying health conditions, such as asthma or any other serious health conditions.
Required Documentation
After an acceptance offer is provided, every family must submit the following for their child prior to the first day of attendance:
1. Completed enrollment application.
2. Emergency Release Form – It is a requirement to have at least two other people listed on your child’s Emergency Form along with the parents/guardians. It is also recommended that you list at least three people who can pick up your child from the KUCCDC in the event of an emergency.
3. Registration fee and the first month’s tuition deposit (Registration Fees are non-refundable)
4. Universal Child Health Record Form and Immunization Record – The State of NJ requires that children must have immunizations including the flu shot to attend childcare; unless they have religious exemption. No child will be admitted without an up-to-date immunization record or letter stating religious exemption.
