Waitlist Process

Each spring, we begin to offer a slot to waitlisted children for the upcoming fall. However, throughout the school year, a slot may become available when a family leaves the center. If your child does not enter Campbell Center in the fall, your child(ren) remains on the waitlist in chronological order per classroom. When a slot becomes available, families are contacted based upon the date placed on the waitlist and their priority.  All offers of enrollment occur via email so it is important to keep the Campbell Center updated. 

Priorities are as follows:

  • 1st - students of FLC 
  • 2nd - Siblings of already enrolled children
  • 3rd - Staff and Faculty employed by Fort Lewis College
  • 4th - Community members

If a slot has been offered and you choose to postpone placement by asking to remain on the waitlist, your waitlist date will change to the day you postpone and your child(ren) will remain on the waitlist. No Response after notice has been given of an available slot will be determined as a Decline and your child(ren) will be removed from the waitlist. After Removal: if you wish to stay on the waitlist, you must re-submit the required information and a new waitlist date is set according to the date we receive your information again.

Periodically, parents/guardians on the waitlist will receive emails asking to update and review the information we have received. No Response to update requests will be determined as a Decline as stated above.

Children placed in the toddler room “age forward” through our center (like elementary school); children move together each year into the next classroom until they reach kindergarten (5 years old by/on September 1st). The same method applies to the waitlist as your child ages forward.

FLC STUDENTS  be prepared to submit your Certificate of Enrollment  confirming your student status

You will receive a confirmation email indicating that we received your waitlist request; your waitlist date is effective the date of your email request.
