How To Register at Pixie Play School
STEP ONE
Schedule a Tour or Attend an Open House
During your tour, we will walk through our school as well as go over our co-oping responsibilities.
We ask that the child and primary parent or grandparent who will co-op attend the tour.
STEP TWO
Sign Our Contract
& Pay Registration
At the end of your tour, if you’re ready to enroll your child at Pixie, you will be asked to fill out our two-page contract and pay your $75 registration fee. This will secure your child’s spot at Pixie.
STEP THREE
Fill Out Your Packet & Provide Medical Reports
Once we have your contract on file, you will be given our Co-oping Agreement packet to take home. This includes papers for you to sign, as well as forms for both your child’s doctor and your doctor to fill out verifying you have the required immunizations to co-op.
Depending on how responsive your doctor is, this may take up to several weeks.
STEP FOUR
Turn in Your Paperwork & Make It Official!
Once you’ve completed your packet, you will arrange a time to bring it back to Pixie.
You’re now ready to co-op!
