Enrollment at Kinhaven begins in February for the following academic year.*
First, we conduct internal registration for current students, their siblings,
and alumni families. Then, working first from the waiting list, we
begin external registration.
How the
Waiting List Works
There is a $25 fee to be placed on the Waiting List.
The Waiting List for the 2008-09 school year will
consist of those children who have not been placed
during the current year (the 2007-08 list for the 2's
classes becomes the 2008-09 list for the 3's classes),
followed by all other applicants. Waiting List
forms submitted between January 1st and the February 4,
2008, Open House will be ordered by lottery,
and those forms will then be appended to the end of
the current year's list. Forms received after the
lottery will be placed at the end of the age-appropriate list. If a
child is placed in a class and has a sibling on a
separate list, that sibling will rise to the top of
his or her list.

Registration
As external registration proceeds,
parents who turn down a slot for any reason may ask for their child to remain on the
Waiting List, but the child will be moved to the end of the age-appropriate list. Parents
may register a child for an available class, and then wait list the child
internally for a different class (i.e., a child registered for 3 days
per week who really wants 2 would then be next in line should a 2-day
slot become available). Registrants must complete an enrollment form
and submit a $50 registration fee at the time of enrollment. Further forms and a deposit, consisting of the June
2009 tuition, will be due in early June 2008. Openings are filled as they arise during the
spring, summer, and academic year.
Tours
Kinhaven offers tours every week on Tuesdays and
Fridays. Tours begin at 10:00 a.m. and last approximately 30 minutes
to one hour. Kinhaven is located at 4201 N. Fairfax Drive, across from
the Ballston Metro at Central United Methodist Church. If you are
interested in a tour, please call 703-525-4636 or email kinhavenoffice@covad.net
and leave your name, telephone number, and the date of the tour you would like to join.
*Enrollment
for the summer program is conducted separately in the spring. Attendance
in the summer program is independent of the academic year, and does
not result in any preference for placement in the academic year.
