You are able to apply for a current semester, or the next upcoming semester during the registration period, but we do not accept applications for future semesters. There is a $30 application processing fee (per child) for UWM students; the fee is $50 (per child) for non-students.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The best opportunity to enroll your child\/ren for the semester you want is to apply by the Priority Application Deadline listed on our Center calendar, although we accept applications after that deadline on a first-come, first-serve basis. If you want specific information about what times\/days are available, you will need to submit an application, as we cannot offer any hours without an application to process. You may contact the Center\u2019s Enrollment Manager for more information to see if there is a waiting list for a particular age group.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We typically do have some families on a waiting list, and the list changes each semester. Our waiting list varies greatly depending on the age of the child, the hours\/days requested, and the parent\u2019s university status.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-how-to-apply\">How to Apply<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"uwm-c-list--sequence\">\n<li><div class=\"uwm-c-list--content-wrap\"><h2>All families are eligible to apply<\/h2>\n<p>The Children&#8217;s Learning Center is a university-based center and the center prioritizes UWM affiliated families.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>UWM Student:<\/strong> Student status is determined by enrollment in a degree-granting or certification program and at least 3 graded credits for Fall semester for undergraduates and 2 graded credits for graduate programs, and payment of the segregated fees.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>UWM Faculty\/Staff:<\/strong> UWM Faculty\/Staff status is determined by at least one parent is employed by UWM.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>UWM Alumni:<\/strong> Alumni status is determined by at least one parent being a graduate of UWM.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Community Member: <\/strong>For families with none of the above affiliations to UWM.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><div class=\"uwm-c-list--content-wrap\"><h2>Select the application for your child&#8217;s age<\/h2>\n<p>Print and complete the all the pages of the application:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"uwm-u-flex uwm-u-flex--wrap uwm-u-flex--left\">\n<a class=\"uwm-c-button uwm-c-button--black uwm-u-mr-20 uwm-u-mb-20\" href=\"https:\/\/uwm.edu\/children\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/678\/2026\/02\/Summer-26-Infant-Toddler-Preschool-NEW-Application-2.pdf\" rel=\"\">SUMMER 2026 Infant, Toddler, Preschool (6 weeks &#8211; 4 years old)  <\/a>\n\n\n\n<a class=\"uwm-c-button uwm-c-button--black uwm-u-mr-20 uwm-u-mb-20\" href=\"https:\/\/uwm.edu\/children\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/678\/2026\/02\/Summer-26-Kindergarten-School-Age-NEW-Application-2.pdf\" rel=\"\">SUMMER 2026 Kindergarten (3k-5K) &amp; School-Age (1st-5th grade) <\/a>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"uwm-l-grid uwm-c-button--grid uwm-l-grid-row--30 uwm-l-grid-column--30 uwm-l-grid--3 uwm-l-grid--equal-y\">\n<a class=\"uwm-c-button\" href=\"https:\/\/uwm.edu\/children\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/678\/2026\/01\/2026-2027-Kindergarten-Application-New-Families.pdf\" rel=\"\">2026-2027 Kindergarten Application <\/a>\n\n\n\n<a class=\"uwm-c-button\" href=\"https:\/\/uwm.edu\/children\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/678\/2025\/10\/S26-NEW-ITP-application-COMPLETE.pdf\" rel=\"\">SPRING 2026 Infant, Toddler, Preschool (6 weeks &#8211; 4 years old)<\/a>\n\n\n\n<a class=\"uwm-c-button\" href=\"https:\/\/uwm.edu\/children\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/678\/2025\/10\/S26-NEW-KSA-application-COMPLETE.pdf\" rel=\"\">SPRING 2026 Kindergarten (3K &#8211; 5K) and School-age (1st &#8211; 5th grade)<\/a>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><div class=\"uwm-c-list--content-wrap\"><h2>Pay the application processing fee<\/h2>\n<p>For continuing families (those enrolled in the current semester), the $10 application processing fee is added to your monthly bill.
