Classroom Visits

Prospective members have several options to tour the classroom:

• Call (206) 284-8095 anytime of the year when there is a class opening.
• Contact info@queenannecoop.org for the standing after-hours classroom tour on the first Wednesday of each month. These classroom tours are by appointment only.
• Two open house weeks are scheduled each year. These typically take place in late January and again in late February.  During the by-appointment-only tours, prospective members can visit a QACP class while it is in session.  This is the best time to visit if you are considering the school for the following academic year. As soon as the dates are announced they will be posted here and on the home page.

Admissions Policies & Procedures

For a complete description of QACP's admission policies & procedures, please see the parent handbook (pdf).

• Your child must reach the age of his/her respective class by Aug. 31 to be eligible for enrollment in that class. The 4's class is also open to children who have turned five but who are not yet attending kindergarten.
• For current members, registration becomes valid upon receipt of the Parent Agreement Form (PAF) and a non-refundable registration fee due by March 19th at 1pm for the 2010-2011 academic year for each child enrolling at the school.
• With the exception of the Tots class (see below), wait list positions are assigned on a first-come, first-served basis in the following order of preference:

1. A child who is new to QACP but has a sibling currently enrolled.
2. A child who is new to QACP and has no sibling currently enrolled, but whose last sibling to attend QACP graduated from the Fours class.
3. A child whose family is currently enrolled in a Seattle Central Community College preschool other than QACP

2. A child who is new to QACP and has no sibling currently enrolled, but whose last sibling to attend QACP graduated from the Fours class.

The Tots lottery will take place as close to three business days after the end of the open enrollment period as possible at the convenience of the Tot's Admissions Coordinator and at least one volunteer board member whose function will be to authenticate the drawing.
4. Lottery results will be sent out via phone within 3 business days of the drawing. Please check back for the drawing date.

SCCC Risk Management & Safety Procedures

During recent years the Queen Anne Cooperative Preschool has, through it's affiliation with the Seattle Central Community College (SCCC), incorporated risk management procedures into the operation and practices of the preschool. Each year QACP assigns a Risk Management Representative to oversee compliance with SCCC's established safety practices. Our goal is to comply with policy, keep our children safe and not expose the school to risk or unnecessary liability.

The following form, issued by SSSC, must be completed by each member of the school. It also includes a GENERAL SAFETY PROCEDURES AND PRACTICES CHECKLIST which highlights those policies that need to be understood by members prior to working with children.
