Opening as The Community Nursery School in 1926, it was one of the first two nursery schools in Ohio and eigh- teenth in the country. YSCCC incorporated in 1946 and has continued the tradition of serving families of our diverse community and neighboring counties. Enrollment The Yellow Springs Community Chil- dren’s Center is open to all children from the ages of six weeks through 12 years old, regardless of ability, race, religion or ethnic background. Generally, admission is on a first-come first-served basis. The Center is committed to serving low-income families. A percent- age of the total enrollment capacity is reserved for Title XX recipients as well as other families eligible for tuition scholar- ship. The Center maintains a waiting list based on the date on which notification was received. Families are notified as soon as space is available in the appropriate pro- gram or group. At times consideration is given to the balancing of gender, age, tem- perament and ethnicity within a classroom. To enroll a child, parents/guardians tour the Center, visit the appropriate program and fill out an enrollment packet at least two days prior to the official start date. Medical forms for children who have not reached the age of kindergarten attendance must be updated annually. The Health and Enrollment Form, routine walking slips, child information form, assessment permission, behavioral policy and photo/video release must be updated annually for all children. Upon a child transitioning into another classroom, the parent/guardian will receive a transition letter detailing the choice of classroom, transitioning schedule, teacher and activities to look forward to through- out their time in the new classroom. Input from the parent/guardian is welcome. The current teacher and parent/guardian will sign the transition letter indicating their agreement of the plan. Visitations Parents/guardians have unlimited access to the Center. Visits are encouraged. The teacher and adult family members decide, according to the child’s needs, the most favorable way for involvement. If a parent/ guardian comes into the building not intending to spend time with his/her child, a strong attempt will be made to shelter the child from viewing the loved one, unless the child is comfortable with a brief encounter. The Center encourages friends, family members, volunteers, students and anyone interested to visit. All prospective personnel and most prospective parents/ guardians tour the building and grounds and spend time observing in classrooms. Appointments can be made or visitors may stop at the front desk for inquiries. The Center is a non-smoking facility.
