How can I be added to the Waitlist?
- The first step is touring our school.
To be added to the waitlist you will need to tour our school first. We want families to visit us and experience what makes us unique. That way we can ensure we are a good fit for your family.

- Once enrollment is received, we will process it as Waitlisted.
- You will then receive an email confirmation of your waitlist status.
Waitlist – We have been on the waitlist for a while and my child’s age has changed. Do we have to re-submit for the correct age group?
No, no need to resubmit enrollment for waitlist. BBA will take into account the appropriate age group.
Waitlist - How long will I need to wait for a space?
Every case and age group is different. Typically, once the school year has started (in August) if all classrooms are full, it’s hard to anticipate when the next space will become available. Open spaces during the ‘school year’ are rare but if a space opens, we will notify parents in that age group.
Towards the end of May, when VPK Students graduate, is when most transitions start and spaces for the new school year open. We usually start accepting new enrollments for the upcoming year around January.
Waitlist – Who has priority on the waitlist?
Siblings of currently enrolled students will have priority to enroll.
We also give priority to Friends & Family (families of currently enrolled students, siblings of previously enrolled children, staff children).
I have another question. Whom do I contact?
You can reach us by phone or by email.
