Wait List & Priority Enrollment Details:
Boston Centers for Youth & Families (BCYF) maintains a wait list for families seeking to enroll in our City Hall Childcare program. It is best to sign up on the list as soon as you know you will need care. The purpose of the Waiting List Policy is to ensure a fair process is followed and communicated to all involved. When BCYF receives Waiting List Application and the waiting list fee, the BCYF City Hall Childcare Program Manager files the application on the waiting list. To help us keep the waiting list up to date we request a $25.00 waiting list fee is due when signing up for the waitlist. An annual maintenance
fee of $25.00 is required to remain on the waiting list. The application date is effective on the date we receive the fee. Any such waiting list fees are not applicable toward enrollment or tuition fees, if and when a child is enrolled in the future. The application fee and maintenance fee is nonrefundable. BCYF provides no guarantee of entry when placing you on the wait list.
The waitlist list is organized using the following information:
A. Registration date
B. Space Required date
C. Age
D. Priority group
- Currently enrolled families (The number of families with first priority can change.
Families with a child already enrolled in the program may get a child into the program
ahead of someone who applies earlier because of their “Sibling” priority.)
