LCC Enrollment Process

The enrollment registration period for the 2026-2027 School Year is from 2/16/26-2/27/26. Schedule your tour now to prepare. Applications during the registration window will have the best chance to secure a spot! If your child does not meet eligibility requirements for the coming year, you may submit a Family Interest Form.

Step 1: Schedule a tour

Enrollment begins with a tour of the Center. To schedule a tour, please contact Program Director Molly Grosvenor:
Email: molly@leelanauchildrenscenter.org
Tel: (231) 256-7841

Step 2: Submit Registration Forms

After completing an on-site tour, prepare for the Enrollment Registration period by filling out the registration forms you received during your tour/via email. Turn in your registration forms during the enrollment registration period.

Step 3: Confirmation

Once your child’s registration is confirmed, you’ll receive instructions on how to complete the enrollment process and prepare for your child’s first day at the Leelanau Children’s Center. The Health Appraisal form must be completed by a physician and returned to the office BEFORE the first day of school.

Family Engagement

At LCC we believe family engagement is a critical force in shaping your child’s success. Participation in events and activities not only keeps our tuition as low as possible, it also helps foster a sense of community in kids and adults alike. We offer many opportunities to get involved and ask you (yourself or family members) to commit to at least (2) volunteer opportunities with LCC per year.
