Registration Process
Registration will consist of four steps. You must complete steps 1-3, including the online pre-registration, and locate and complete all required documents prior to attending your in-person appointment or Registration Fair (step 4), or the registrar will not be able to assist you at that time.

 STEP 1:

Download, complete and save all district forms needed for your registration application. All forms can be found here. These forms include the following:

  1.  Notarized Affidavit 
    1. You will only need this if you do not have a deed/lease for your residency. These must be notarized by a New Jersey Notary.
  2.  New Jersey Registration Form 
    1. Only one of these forms need to be completed according to the situation that best matches the student’s circumstances.
  3.  PSD Medical Form
  4.  Physical Form (This form must be completed by a Physician.)
  5.  Parent Occupational Survey

All of the above forms, besides the Physical Form, can be completed online and saved to your computer for easy uploading to your Open Registration Application.

  3. Deed or Lease
    1. You only need the Notarized Affidavit if you do not have a written Deed or Lease
  4. New Jersey Registration Form
    1. Only one of these forms need to be completed according to the situation that best matches the student’s circumstances
  5. Proof of Residency #1
  6. Proof of Residency #2

STEP 3:

Complete the online Open Registration by clicking below!

 

Please note, preschool or New ECLC students SHOULD NOT schedule an appointment with the Central Registration office as they will be attending an in-person registration event to collect and verify required documents. During the in-person event, the Registrar will review the required documents and proofs of residency.


IMPORTANT: Write down the username and password when creating your parent/guardian account.

STEP 4:
Attend the scheduled in-person Registration Fair at our Early Childhood Learning Center. Bring all of your documents that have uploaded and those that may have not been. 
 
 Registration Fair: 
Wednesday, May 14th at 5:00 - 7:00 pm
Thursday, May 15th at 8:30 - 9:30 am
Staff will be available to assist parents with the registration process to enroll their student at the Early Childhood Learning Center or at one of the provider sites. We will answer general questions about the program, check registration packets for completeness (including nurses reviewing health records), and making any necessary copies of proofs of residency the parents need to complete the registration process.
 
If you are registering after the registration fair above, please reach out to make sure you schedule your appointment to finalize your application. Unscheduled appointments cannot be honored. Allow yourself time to complete all required documents before attending your appointment. If required documents are missing during your in-person registration appointment, we will have to reschedule your appointment.
