Washington Park Early Learning Center (WPELC) charges a $65 application fee for all prospective student applications. This fee supports administrative costs associated with processing applications, maintaining waitlists, conducting tours, and managing enrollment communications.
In accordance with Colorado regulations, families may request a partial refund of the application fee if their child is not enrolled within six (6) months of the application date.
To request a refund, families must submit a written request via email to Admissions@wpelc.org. Refund requests must include:
- Parent/guardian name
- Child’s name
- Date of application
Upon receipt of a qualifying written request, WPELC will refund $40 of the original $65 application fee. WPELC retains a $25 non-refundable administrative processing fee as permitted by Colorado law.
Refund requests must be submitted within 30 days after the six-month period has elapsed. Eligible refunds will be processed within 30 days of the written request.
Application fees are not eligible for refund if:
- A placement offer was extended and declined by the family
- The family completed enrollment and signed a school contract
- The application was withdrawn by the family prior to placement consideration
Submission of an application does not guarantee enrollment or placement in a specific class.
We appreciate your interest in our cooperative preschool community and look forward to getting to know your family.
