Priority for enrollment in the Infant Toddler, Preschool and School Age programs is:
.
1st Priority: CSULB students
2nd Priority: CSULB staff/faculty
3rd Priority: CSULB alumni
4th Priority: Community
.
Following the registration of student parent children in each program, children of CSULB staff, faculty, alumni, and then community are offered services, as space allows.
A waiting list application form must be completed and returned to the Center Office, along with a $10.00 application fee. An application fee is not required from students eligible for subsidized childcare. The application fee is not refundable and is not applied toward any other fees.
.
Since we offer flexible scheduling we never know what hours might be available. We recommend you turn in a waiting list application and then we can call you if any open spots (might be part-time) become available. You can apply anytime to be placed on the waiting list (i.e. when you're pregnant).

This subsidized program serves a limited number of families. To apply, parents must provide proof of income documentation and complete a Request for Subsidized Childcare form.
