Application for
Child Enrollment
Please read the following information before completing the

We
enroll children ages 3, 4, and 5 in the BYU Idaho Child Labs. Parents
are responsible to read the following enrollment requirements and to assure
that their child qualifies for enrollment.
·
Children
must be at least 3 years old (36 months) on the first day of school.
·
Children
must not have had a fifth birthday before September 1.
·
Children
will not be enrolled for two consecutive semesters. (Summer terms are not considered one of the
two major semesters.)
2.
Applications
should be submitted several months in advance of the desired session. Enrollment selection is based on the order in
which applications are received. We
reserve the right to make selection adjustments as necessary to keep favorable
male/female, race/ethnic ratio and age mix in the labs. In the summer, priority is given to 5
year-olds starting kindergarten in the fall.
3.
The
main purpose of our program is the training of teachers. One critical aspect of teacher training is
learning how to effectively interact with parents. At the beginning of each semester, a parent
orientation meeting will be conducted by our student staff. You are required to attend this meeting as a
condition of your child’s enrollment.
(You will be notified of the date and time.) At this meeting, you will be asked to
complete and sign the following forms and/or wavers: consent for observation, testing, photography
and video taping; acknowledgment of risk; statement of insurance or assumption
of medical expense; and indemnification of BYU Idaho and

Preschool
usually starts about two weeks after the beginning of the new semester. Student staff will contact you by telephone
to tell you which lab your child will be in.
After you have been called, you may arrange to bring your child for a
brief visit to the center to get acquainted with the facility and the teachers.
