Rock Spring Cooperative Preschool is currently accepting applications (download here) for the 2010-2011 school year. The deadline for all applications is February 26, 2010.

Applications will be accepted for the upcoming school year only, unless applicant is a priority member*. Priority members may submit applications for the following year and will be kept on a priority list in the order in which their applications are received. Other applicants who have submitted applications and paid applicable fees will be entered into a lottery, held March 1st. However, a number of other overriding factors, such as gender balance and age mix, may be considered as openings are filled. To be entered into the lottery, applications must be received between September 15 and February 26.

Applications received between March 1st and May 31st will be kept on file in the event an opening occurs throughout the year. No applications will be accepted between June 1st and September 15th.

You may print the 2010-2011 application form and mail it, along with a $20.00 application fee, to: Rock Spring Cooperative Preschool, Attn: Membership, 5010 Little Falls Road, Arlington, Virginia, 22207. Please make checks payable to Rock Spring Cooperative Preschool or RSCP. The $20.00 fee is payable per child and is non-refundable.
