Q: What ages are eligible for enrollment at iWHD?

Q: Does iWHD charge a registration fee?

Q: What is a Tuition Depsoit?

A non-refundable, non-transferable Tuition Deposit equal to two (2) weeks of tuition is required at the time of enrollment, regardless of whether care begins immediately or a space is reserved for a future start date. This deposit will be credited toward the first two (2) weeks of tuition when care begins.

Q: How do I reserve a childcare space for a future start date (months in advance)?

A: A one-time, non-refundable, and non-transferable Reservation Fee is required at the time of enrollment to secure a start date more than one (1) month after enrollment.

This fee is separate from the Tuition Deposit and will not be credited toward tuition.

Q: How do I schedule a daycare tour?

A: If you are interested in iWHD, please complete the Childcare Inquiry Form. The Provider will review your inquiry and respond via email within 48 hours if the family's childcare needs align with the program.

Q: What happens after the daycare tour?

A: Following your daycare tour, if you wish to move forward with enrollment, you are encouraged to contact iWHD as soon as possible. Please understand that enrollment is a mutual decision between you and the Provider. Availability is limited, and a childcare space cannot be reserved or guaranteed until enrollment has been approved and the required Tuition Deposit has been received.

Q: Do you have a waitlist?

A: Yes. If you are not ready to secure a childcare space, you may contact the Provider to be added to the waitlist at no cost or financial commitment.

If you currently have a child enrolled at iWHD and wish to enroll another child, you will receive priority consideration. Please note that placement on the waitlist does not guarantee availability or enrollment.
