Children who are eligible by age to enter kindergarten are not eligible for the program. The toddler group accommodates 12 children, and 18 children are enrolled in the preschool program. The center is accreditated by the National Academy of Early Childhood Programs. The groups are balanced by sex and age of the children.
Priority is given to children whose parents work full time.
Within these guidelines, children are accepted by date of application. The center is available only for full-day enrollments, five days a week. During University class vacations, final exam weeks, intersessions when University classes are not in session, and summer session, parents are given the option of not sending their children to Stone House and not paying for child care. Parents who need child care during these periods are asked to make reservations in advance.
