wait list

We enroll children in a cohort of similarly-aged peers. From infancy through the preschool years, children forge strong friendships with other members of their cohort, and these groups will stay together throughout their time at our school. When you join the ChildRoots wait list, your child will always be waiting for a space in a single cohort of children at the location(s) that you choose. 

Each September two new infant cohorts (6 weeks - 6 months and 6 months - 1 year) start together at both our Northwest and Southeast centers. Enrollment for these cohorts takes place approximately six months prior to the start of the school year, in late February/early March.

After a cohort is fully enrolled, particularly for our infant and toddler cohorts, openings are rare and depend on the withdrawal of a currently enrolled family. If/When a space does open up, families whose enrollment needs best fit the opening will be offered an interview and considered for enrollment. If you would like to add your child to one of our school’s lists you may do so at PDX Waitlist.
