A Place To Grow
2026 -2027 Enrollment Policy
A Place To Grow at the Stratton Elementary School is currently licensed for 143 children per day. In an effort to make enrollment as fair as possible, we have adopted the following policy to accommodate as many families as possible in the Stratton community.
Our enrollment procedures for the 2026 - 2027 school year are as follows:
- All In-house families will have the opportunity to enroll for the upcoming school year by February 13, 2026.
- We will give priority to all returning families and incoming siblings.
- All new families who wish to enroll their child will need to submit an enrollment application by April 3, 2026, by 6:00 PM to be placed into the “lottery” for any available enrollment spots.
Forms may be submitted electronically [email protected] or via US Mail (180 Mountain Avenue Arlington, MA. 02474). Enrollment forms can be obtained on the Stratton School website or by requesting a form from the Center Director or by calling 781-646-6021.
- Forms will be chosen via lottery, and no applications will be considered until the deadline of April 3, 2026 regardless of the date of submission.
- Parents will receive notification of their enrollment status by the end of the day April 10, 2026
Parents that do not receive a spot in April can remain on the waitlist at no charge and will be contacted should a spot become available.
