Registration for the 2025-26 school year and 2025 LECE Summer camp is closed.

Please continue reading to see changes that LECE is making to the enrollment process.

LECE is transitioning to a rolling admissions process. Every February, we will ask families to renew their application in the Student Placement Queue (waitlist). This change ensures that our list remains current and includes families who are actively seeking placement at LECE. It also allows us to refresh the Student Placement Queue each year.

Here are the most significant changes:

The Student Placement Queue will be entirely refreshed in 2025.
We will ask families to renew their application every February in the Student Placement Queue.
Children have to be 3 before August 1st to be placed in the queue for the current school year.
