Admissions at LOA

Joining our program.

Little Oaks Academy currently has spaces available in select classrooms- please call for availability. Children are accepted on a first-come, first-served basis depending upon availability of spaces and classroom scheduling.  Children who have siblings enrolled in the Academy are given admission priority. We do offer a waiting list if space is not immediately available. A non-refundable $75.00 application/enrollment fee secures an offer for the next available opening in the appropriate age grouping/classroom.  This fee is required with all applications (waiting list or enrollment). Applying early is encouraged.

Prior to enrollment, parents/guardians must complete an application packet as well as attend an orientation visit and tour the center.  Little Oaks Academy’s admission policy does require full immunizations and submission of a current Department of Health Certificate of Immunization (TWIS form) prior to admission (or at two months of age if admitted younger). Children under the age of thirty months must also have proof of a physical examination completed within three months prior to their date of enrollment.

To schedule a tour, or for more information, please use the Contact Us page or call our office at 865-545-8322.

Upon two week’s notice of withdrawal, this fee will applied to the final bill or refunded.
