Wait List

Active Period: Ongoing

Thank you for your interest in the Isabel Patterson Child Development Center (IPCDC)! We are committed to providing accessible, affordable, and dependable quality early care and education programs for children of CSULB students. We will enroll faculty, staff, alumni, and community families only after the enrollment of student families. Our programs include an Infant and Toddler Program, Preschool Program, and School Age Program. Each fall, currently enrolled families re-register their children before we turn to the waiting list to offer enrollment to new families. Our waiting list is arranged by program, according to the parents’ status, and by the waiting list application date. Waiting time for enrollment varies and is likely to take several semesters.

This is due to: 1) our licensed capacity, 2) low child turnover, and 3) our popularity.

Waiting List Fee: $20 Non-Refundable

Registration Fee:
New families and families re-registering after a leave of absence pay a non-refundable registration fee per child. This fee is due at the time registration paperwork is submitted.

  • Preschool & School Age Programs (includes $10 emergency kit fee): CSULB Students – $35 CSULB Faculty & Staff, Alumni, and Community – $60


Returning Family Registration Deposit Fee: $100
This fee is due at the same time fall registration paperwork is submitted. If the child maintains enrollment and attends when the fall semester begins, the registration deposit fee is credited to the family’s childcare account. If the child’s deposit is paid and the child withdraws from the program before the fall semester begins, the fee is forfeited and will not be refunded.

EILIGIBILITY SCALE FOR SUBSIDIZED CHILDCARE: To be eligible for subsidy with the IPCDC, one parent must be a CSULB student and meet other criteria.
