Registration Process
At Little Aspen Playschool, we have an online registration process to make it as easy as possible to register your child for our playschool. Our registration form also helps us conduct a fair and transparent process for assigning students to a class based on their priority. Priority will be given to the following groups on a first come first served basis within each group:
Current LAPS members registering a returning student.
Families with a current Royal Gardens or Aspen Gardens membership.
Current LAPS members registering a sibling of a student.
Alumni of LAPS.
General Public.
Online Registration is OPEN to ALL groups. You can pay your registration fee of $65 by credit card as part of your submission. This fee is non-refundable.

How does it work?
You will receive an email confirming that the information has been accepted. This is not confirmation that the registration is complete or that your child has been accepted into your class of choice. After registration is closed, classes will be created and you will be notified within 7 - 14 days if your child has a confirmed placement in a class. Your response confirming your acceptance of a spot at LAPS is required via email.
There is a August 1, 2025 withdrawal deadline before the next school year.
Registration Night
A Registration Night will be held in April/May 2025 junction with the Spring General Meeting in April 17, 2024. The following items will be required to complete the registration. If these items are not received by the registrar on or before this date, your place in the class will not be held.
