Admission Procedures

Step #1: Schedule Your Tour With Us

Tours are conducted once a month. The tour lasts about one hour and is usually given on a Monday starting at 10:00 am. We encourage parents to attend the tour without the children. If this is not possible, please arrange to have another adult accompany you who can supervise your child so that you can participate fully in the presentation.

To sign up for Seaside Costa Mesa’s monthly Orientation Tour (typically Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday mornings), please fill out the admissions inquiry or call the school at 909-616-1101.

Step #2: Intent to Register

At the end of the tour,  the director will provide forms needed to proceed with enrollment. You will be able to fill out an Intent to Register Form. Should you decide to do so, you will be charged the nominal fee of $25 to cover administrative costs.

Please note: Admittance to Seaside Costa Mesa is decided based on multiple factors, and thus not merely on a first-come-first-served basis. Considerations include: currently enrolled siblings, returning families, a balance of age, gender, and attendance chosen (full time versus part time). The Intent to Register Form thus does not guarantee availability and enrollment.

Step #3: Application/Acceptance

0During the enrollment months, or as space becomes available, families will be contacted based on the criteria listed above. If you decide to enroll your child, you will need to complete and submit an Application Form along with a non-refundable one-time enrollment fee of $50.00. You will also be asked to submit a $1000.00 non-refundable deposit to guarantee your child’s space in our program. This deposit will automatically be applied to last month’s tuition. We will discuss and determine appropriate dates for the transitioning process and your child’s first day of school during the enrollment process.

Do you offer a discount for siblings?

Yes, we offer a 10% discount on the second child’s tuition.
