ADMISSION CRITERIA

At TOP we believe that learning begins at birth. Studies show that 80% of what we learn in life is learned before the age of six-years-old and that the greatest learning opportunities occur in our infant and toddler years. TOP accepts children from ages birth to five-years-old. We do not discriminate in any way based upon sex or ethnicity and encourage diversity in our enrollment. Approximately 11% of our children have individual education plans – meaning that TOP teachers are helping them manage special needs in preparing for Kindergarten. Unfortunately, we do not have the facilities or licensing to enroll children with severe physical and mental handicaps but TOP will help these families find the correct alternative for their children with other providers.

TOP is privately funded and operated and reserves the right to decline service to any family in the event that TOP is not the best learning facility for their child. Otherwise, enrollment at TOP is based upon financial need and ability to qualify for local, state, or federal assistance. Virtually all TOP students are federal free or reduced lunch qualified, have family incomes falling below the poverty line or both. TOP’s mission is to assist children and families in poverty and, consequently, enrollment preference is given based upon financial need. We also work with families to develop family improvement plans so that they can improve their home environments while their children are learning in school.
