Updated Registration Process for 2022-2023 School Year (For Families Not Currently in Wayzata Kids)
The Wayzata Kids team has spent some time analyzing the registration process for before and after-school childcare. We hope that by adjusting some of the processes, it will allow for an easier process for families.
- First-come, first-serve process was a barrier to families that were unable to register right at 8:00 a.m.
- A lottery system for families not currently in Wayzata Kids will provide an opportunity for all families to register within the designated registration week.
Updated Registration Process for Incoming Families
- Families not currently in Wayzata Kids need to register by Friday, March 18 at 4:00 p.m. to be included in the lottery.
- Families that register by Friday, March 18 at 4:00 p.m. will be placed in a lottery by school site. This is a change from the previous first-come, first-serve process.
- The number of student contracts accepted in the lottery at each site will be determined by staffing.
- Families will be notified the week of March 28.
- Families not selected:
- Will have the choice to remain on the waitlist.
- If site capacity increases, families that registered prior to March 18 will be selected via the lottery process.
- Families that register after March 18 at 4:00 p.m. will not be part of the lottery process and will be accepted first come, first serve after the initial lottery waitlist is cleared.
The registration process for families currently in the Wayzata Kids program remains the same.
- A current family is a family that has an accepted contract for the 2021-2022 school year. A summer 2022 contract without a current 2021-2022 contract does not qualify.
- Current Wayzata Kids families must register by 4:00 p.m. on Friday, March 18 to guarantee care for the 2022-2023 school year.
- Current Wayzata Kids families that register after the 4:00 p.m. deadline on March 18 will be part of the lottery process.
- Currently enrolled families will be notified of their acceptance into the Wayzata Kids program the week of March 21.
- This includes elementary preschool students with current non-school day contracts.
