3 Playdate at Rise

Once you have completed the interest form and visited our school, we will schedule a playdate for your child in a prospective classroom.

4 Admissions Decision

The enrollment committee will review your application and determine admission based on available space, classroom ratios (traditional learner vs child with developmental delays), and our ability to serve your child's needs.

PLEASE NOTE: THERE IS NO “WAITLIST.” If the desired classroom is at capacity or the admissions committee has determined that Rise is unable to serve your child’s needs in the inclusive classroom/group setting (3:1 child-to-teacher ratio), families can reapply the following year for the upcoming school year. For instance, if Rise is unable to accept a child for the 2019 – 2020 school year, families are welcome to reapply (fill out an updated interest form and schedule a play date) in the fall of 2019 for the upcoming 2020 – 2021 school year. Rise does not have a waitlist of children that will be contacted for the following enrollment season. Each year, enrollment for the upcoming school year starts fresh. Please also note that admissions decisions are typically made in the spring after re-enrollment packets of current families have been submitted.

Our enrollment process aims to provide an equitable and individualized experience for all children and their families. If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact us.

5 Enrollment

Upon acceptance, you will receive an offer letter and enrollment packet. To reserve your space, a registration fee and contract must be submitted. You will be given a deadline to submit your completed enrollment packet which will serve as your child's individual file. The file will contain pertinent information required by the Texas Department of Family and Protective Services (licensing).
