How the Registration Process Works

Step 1 – Submit a Request for Days

Families must first submit a Request for Days through our online registration system.

If you are new to the system, you will need to create a household account and enter parent/guardian and child information.

Submitting the Request for Days secures your place in line.

You will receive an email receipt with a PDF attachment that contains a link to our After School Registration Form.

Step 2 – Complete the Registration Form

The receipt attachment includes a link to the required Hayden After School Registration Form.

The form must be completed for your request to be reviewed.

Important:
Your position in line is based on the
time your Request for Days was submitted, not when the registration form is completed.

Step 3 – Request Review and Enrollment Confirmation

The After School Director will review all requests and follow up with families regarding the status of their requested schedule.

Submitting a Request for Days does not guarantee enrollment, as placement depends on availability. Families will be contacted once placement decisions have been made.
