ERMS Enrollment Process

1. Come Visit Us!

​

Curious about what ERMS is like in person? We’d love to show you around!
We offer weekly tours, typically Tues, Wed & Thurs mornings.

While tours are not required, they’re a wonderful way to experience our classrooms, meet our teachers, and get a feel for our community.

To schedule a tour, please call our office directly at 323-254-3027.

​

2. Join the Waitlist

 

We encourage families to plan ahead by joining our waitlist.

• There is a $100 non-refundable fee to join.

• Please note: this fee does not apply toward tuition or other school costs.

You can sign up for the waitlist here.

 

3. Stay Connected

​

Once you’re on the waitlist, we’ll check in with you each year to confirm your continued interest and allow you to update your preferred schedule.

• Each November or December, we’ll email a short Interest Form.

• Forms are due in the winter prior to the school year you’re hoping to enroll.

If we don’t receive a response, we’ll assume you’re no longer interested and will remove your child from the waitlist.

 

4. Enrollment Offers

When a space becomes available, we consider several factors to ensure a balanced classroom:

• Siblings of currently enrolled students

• Original waitlist date

• A balanced mix of age, gender, and background

• Your preferred schedule

 

Enrollment offers for the upcoming school year are typically made between February and March. If a spot opens mid-year, families on the waitlist will be notified.

If you’re offered a spot, you’ll have 48 hours to accept or decline. To secure enrollment, we’ll need:

• A signed enrollment contract (within 2 weeks)

• A $500 non-refundable registration fee

• A one-month tuition deposit, applied to your child’s final month at ERMS
