1. When can I plan to hear if I got into the class?
The registrars try to respond to all registrations with in a week's time. However, this is a volunteer position and the registrars are parents with busy lives too. In the summer and during school breaks the time could be a little longer as your registrar could be on vacation. All correspondence and class filling in done on a first come first served basis.
2. Can't I just drop my registration at the church?
No, please don't! The Toddler Group does not have an office at the church, and no one may be there to take your registration OR you could be interrupting a current class in session. All registrations should be mailed to our P.O. Box at 14241 Woodinville-Duvall Road #138, Woodinville, WA 98072.
3. I got a response from one of my child's classes but not the other. What does this mean?
The Toddler Group has 2 registrars. One is in charge of the 1/2 year old classes, and the other is in charge of the 2/3 year old classes. Please understand they might not be on the same data entry schedule for when paper work is processed.
4. Where am I on the wait list? How full is the wait list?
All this information is kept private. Wait list length and status can be constantly changing if the class roster changes or people from the wait list drop their spots. The only people with wait list information are the registrars and you will be notified as soon as you have been moved from the wait list to your desired class.
5. How do I know if the Woodinville Toddler Group is right for my family?
Please email the registrars and they will allow you to come visit a class for your child's age range during our academic year. However, due to our insurance policy no children can attend the visit with you. The Toddler Group offers an open house in the spring, which children can attend, before our summer break. No tours are given during the summer months.
6. Can I visit the school during the summer months?
Unfortunately, no, our classrooms are not set up in the summer as no classes are offered. The Toddler Group does not have an office at our school location inside the church, so no one can properly introduce you to the Woodinville Toddler Group and what we offer you and your toddler.
7. Can I register for only one quarter?
The Toddler Group is designed as a full academic year program. The Fall, Winter, and Spring quarters are registered as a block or package at the beginning of our registration period. However, if openings do become available students my register for the remainder of the school year.
8. How will I know when the school year is beginning?
Our school year runs on the Lake Washington Technical College Calendar so you can check their site. However, before the year begins you will receive information from the registrar and your class's parent leader. this information will have important dates for you including your first day of school.
9. Does the WTG offer tuition breaks?
The Toddler Group does offer some scholarships on a first come, first served basis. However, this is not the only way to receive a break on your tuition. Positions on the Board of Directors and within the administration can offer your family a reduction in the price of tuition.
10. I have checked out other, similar groups in the area. Why is WTG the least expensive?
WTG is a non-profit organization, and we rent space in a church building instead of a commercial rental space. This helps us maintain reasonable rates.
No, and we are not affiliated with the church in which we meet. We are a division of Lake Washington Technical College (LWTC). LWTC is committed to providing equal opportunity and non-discrimination to students without regard to race or ethnicity, creed, color, national origin, sex, marital status, sexual orientation, age, religion, the presence of any sensory, mental, or physical disability, or veteran status.
12. Can I send my application in via email or online?
Not at this time. Currently we require registration papers to be signed. Your signed paper work reserves your spot in the class and is needed by WTG and LWTC.
13. Why do I need to fill out two registration forms?
One is for the WTG and the other is for Lake Washington Technical College (LWTC). Since the Toddler Group is a division of LWTC to be in the Toddler Group you will be a student of LWTC. You will receive college credits through LWTC for your time in the Toddler Group.
14. Can I send my child with my in-home child care provider or with a grandparent?
Yes, however, in this case we require both the parent and the adult attending class with the child BOTH be enrolled in the program. Only one reservation fee and envelope is required, but we will need a WTG registration form and Lake Washington Technical College registration form for each of the adults. The child care provider will need to attend weekly classes and 3 evening education sessions per quarter. The parent will be encouraged to attend daytime classes when possible and will be required to attend 3 evening education sessions per quarter.
15. When can I register for next year?
If you are looking to register for the next academic year we have first a priority registration offered to our current and alumni students. The current students may begin to enroll the first Monday of February, and alumni students may begin to enroll the third Monday of February. Open enrollment begins the first Monday of March and everyone may enroll at this time via mail. Mail applications to our PO Box at 14241 Woodinville-Duvall Road #138, Woodinville, WA 98072.
Yes, you will be called or emailed back. Our volunteer registrars are parents, like you, whose toddlers attend WTG. These volunteers make an effort to check the message line and email once a week, but due to circumstances -- having a family, any emergencies, or vacations -- can delay the process. WTG apologizes for any inconvenience; a registrar will contact you as soon as they can.
17. Why would I enroll if I have already had a toddler(s)?
Unfortunately for parents, raising a child isn't an exact science and every child is different! WTG offers parents and their toddler(s) a chance to interact socially and academically with peers. In fact, our alumni will return with their next toddler(s) to "redo" the program for these reasons.
