Enrollment
Thank you for considering Blakemore Children’s Center for your child and family. Enrollment eligibility is granted without discrimination with regard to sex, color or creed. Any child aged 6 weeks to 5 years is eligible for enrollment provided the program can meet the needs of the child. Enrollment priority is given to siblings of children already enrolled and to children whose parents are actively serving in the military.
Our tuition reflects the low ratios of children to caregivers as well as the extensive professional development and training of our educators. Limited financial assistance is available. Please contact us for more information about our scholarship fund.
