Application Process

Eligibility

West Hills College Child Development Centers do not discriminate on the basis of sex, sexual orientation, gender, ethnic group identification, race ancestry, national origin, religion, color, or mental or physical disability in determining which children are served.  We welcome the enrollment of children with disabilities and understand the requirement of the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) to make reasonable accommodations for such children and implement those accommodations. 

Application Process

Parents interested in enrolling their children may pick up an application at the Child  Development Center located at Coalinga, Lemoore, Firebaugh, San Joaquin or Avenal. 

To schedule an appointment for a center tour and complete a potential waiting list application, contact the site office assistant or site supervisor or fill out application form below. 

Waiting List and Eligibility Application

In addition to the center tour, an orientation is scheduled prior to enrollment and at the start of the school year.  This is to establish a supportive relationship for your child's early care and education experience while familiarizing you with our program and policies. We also strongly encourage you to bring your child in to visit their classroom and meet the teachers prior to the first day of school. Placement in the program is established by enrollment priority and application date. All enrollment forms must be completed and returned before your child will be allowed to attend the center. All children, upon enrollment will need to complete a physical exam, and provide proof of TB clearance and current immunizations (TB test must have been administered within the last year). The CDC maintains a current waiting list in accordance with admission priorities of Department of Education for each program and contacts applicants in order of priority from the waiting list as child care spaces become available.

Our fees vary depending on the program choice.  Fees are on a sliding scale based on income, family size and program selection.
