Admissions
Admissions
1. Initial contact and brochure. Interested parents should call the director; the director will send a Morgan Rothschild Academy brochure. After receiving and reviewing the brochure, parents should call to set up a visit to MRA. During the visit, interested parents will receive an application and can begin to understand the program and expectations. The process introduces families to the center and outlines the path toward enrollment.
2. Visit and application. During the visit, parents receive the formal application. The application asks how the family heard about MRA and what they are seeking in a childcare center. The director may provide guidance on completing the form and what information to prepare. This step helps the center assess fit and family goals.
3. Reserving a spot. After a tour, confirm with the director that there is an opening in the desired program. To reserve, sign a contract and pay a deposit equal to one month's tuition plus a one-time non-refundable registration fee of RMB 500. A written notice of one month is required to terminate the contract, and the deposit is refundable if cancellation occurs more than 30 days before the scheduled start date. This step secures enrollment and outlines start-date logistics.
4. Waiting list. If no opening is currently available, a waiting list is used. Priority on the waiting list is given first to siblings of currently enrolled children, then to children living in Kang Hong Garden, followed by all other interested children. Within each category, the order is determined by the date of first contact with the center. Families should understand that availability depends on openings and timing.
5. Visitation and orientation. Once a start date is scheduled, the director coordinates a visitation/transition schedule with the family. A parent orientation is arranged to explain routines, language use, daily schedules, and classroom expectations. This period supports a smooth transition for the child and family.
6. Summer program. New applications are accepted if space is available, though openings are rare. The Summer Program “Camp Frolic” is optional and available to children already enrolled at MRA. Families should consider this option if summer enrollment is anticipated, subject to space.
