RETURNING FAMILIES

If your child was in our program LAST YEAR, then you do not need to print any forms.  We already have your information and when you come to register, we will present you with a print-out for your approval and update.  It will include the Emergency Information on the reverse, so you don't even have to bring that with you! 

If you had a child in our program last year and are now registering another child, then please follow the instructions for "New Registrations".
