Waitlist

Waitlist Policies

The UH Child Care Center reserves the right to take children on the basis of different priorities to fit our needs. The order is as follows:

  • Siblings of current families
  • UH students
  • Faculty/Staff

Within each of these categories, enrollment is offered according to date applications are received and the availability of age-related space.

Waitlist applications must be submitted with a $45.00 non-refundable payment. Once a child is enrolled, this payment will be applied to the initial Registration Fee.

When an opening becomes available, the family will be notified and given 3 business days to respond. If the family fails to respond or if the offer is declined we will move to the next family on the list and the child's name will move to the bottom of the waitlist.

After a family has declined or failed to respond to an offer for enrollment 3 different semesters the child's name will be removed from the waitlist and the waitlist fee forfeited. A parent must reapply and pay the fee again before their child can be considered for enrollment.

If the enrollment offer is accepted, the family will have one week to complete an Enrollment Agreement and pay all applicable fees.

Each August, families on the wait list will be requested via e-mail and/or phone to indicate if they want to remain on the waitlist and if so, to update their contact information. Families must respond by the requested due date or they will be removed from the waitlist.
