Registration Timeline

Once your child is born, you may submit a waitlist application. A child is eligible for Manhattan Beach Preschool on the first of September after they turn the age of 2.
  • Early January - In general we begin our enrollment process in January of every year by re-enrolling currently enrolled students.
  • Mid-January - We begin enrollment for the 2-year-old fall program from the waitlist. 

  • February - We contact families from the waitlist and enroll them in the open spots for the 3, 4, and 5 year old programs. We continue to enroll until all classes are full. To hold a spot families will need to pay the registration fee.

  • May - First month and last months tuition will be required along with registration paperwork.
  • Submit a completed waitlist application with the $100.00 non-refundable fee payable to MBUSD.

  • Your application will be placed on the waiting list in the order of the date submitted. Priority is given to district employees as well as siblings.

  • Please notify our office immediately of any changes to the information you submit on your application.
