Join Our Waitlist

AELC Waitlist Application

Thank you for your inquiry into Augustana Early Learning Center! We are an outreach ministry of the Augustana Lutheran Church that welcomes all children regardless of faith, culture or ethnicity. The Center provides care for children in a clean, safe and nurturing environment that promotes learning and enhances the child’s well-being.

Completion of this form AND payment of the non-refundable waitlist fee ($150 per child, $200 for families with more than 1 child being added) is required before being placed on the waitlist. You can pay our fee with a check (can be sent in the mail or dropped off in-person) and made payable Augustana Early Learning Center, 5000 E. Alameda Ave, Denver, CO 80246. It can also be paid with a debit or credit card using the link in the form.

Our waitlist is organized according to a number of factors, including:

  • Date of application + date of check submittal

  • Age of child

  • Prioritization category (Church members, families with siblings already at the Center, Church & Center staff children)

  • Requested start date

You are welcome to call and check on your waitlist position, but rest assured that when a spot opens up we will notify you immediately via a phone call & an email. Once notified of the opening, your family has 72 hours to decide if you'd like to accept your child's start date. If we do not hear back from you, we will assume you no longer need the spot and will remove you from your waitlist.

WAITLIST DEFERRAL POLICY:
If you are offered a spot in one of our classrooms, but would like to defer your enrollment to a later date, in order to hold that spot, you must pay the FULL tuition until you are ready to enroll. Alternatively, you can opt out of holding your spot (and not pay), and you will remain on the waitlist, but we cannot guarantee a timeline for enrollment after deferral.

NOTES:

  • For applicants with multiple children, please include names & DOB for all children on this application form.

  • There is a link to schedule a tour at the end of this form. We encourage all applicants to schedule a tour - we are excited to show you our Center!
