Institute of Child Development

Our enrollment process each spring begins with re-enrolling children who are currently in care at the Institute of Child Development (ICD). After that, we are able to fill vacant spots in each age group based on the capacity of our classrooms and ratio of children to caregivers for each group.

Prospective families must complete the following tasks in order to receive an offer of enrollment:

• Review our Family Handbook (link coming soon)
• Submit a Waitlist Application (PDF)
  
  • Email to jmurphy@ou.edu
• Attend a tour of the Institute of Child Development
  • We will email tour invitations to families on the Waiting List throughout the year as we schedule tours. Tours tend to fill quickly, so make sure the email addresses included in your Waiting List Application are those you check most frequently!

For the above please add a link to the PDF Family Handbook that was attached to the email.  And please change the contact email to ICD_Preschool@ou.edu

Waiting List applications are sorted by the child's date of birth (or due date), then further organized into the following priority groups based on the affiliation(s) of the child's legal guardian(s):

1. Institute of Child Development Educators
2. Families currently enrolled at the Institute of Child Development
3. Current OU  faculty, staff, and students
4. General community

Your child will remain on the waitlist until they are no longer eligible for our program.  We will only contact you for tours and in the event that we have an open spot.

If you are an OU Student please also see the CCAMPIS Grant drop down for possibly subsidy of child care expenses.

The Institute of Child Development has an OU Foundation account.  This money can be used for special projects, equipment, and tuition scholarships.   We want our program to be affordable and available to every family who wants to participate.  As we assess the needs of our program, we are looking at several projects. The playground is one area where we would like to add some new equipment and replace some well used items. Another area we would like to renew is our children’s library. Over the years, many books have had their pages turned by many budding new readers!  If you are able, we would love for your family to consider donating to our foundation account.  Please follow the link below to donate to our program.  If you want your donation to go toward a specific project, please let us know by email, (ICD_Preschool@ou.edu) otherwise, the staff will determine how the money is used based on current needs.  Thank you for your support.

Parent Handbook (Coming Soon!)

 Current OU Students may qualify for childcare subsidy assistance through a federal grant called CCAMPIS (Childcare Access Means Parents in School.) This grant is geared towards income-eligible undergraduate and graduate students based on their completed FAFSA.

Other qualifications include maintaining a GPA of 2.0 or higher, being a US Citizen or Permanent Resident, and having a child or children aging in range from before birth through 5th grade.

For more information or if you’re interested in applying for full or partial childcare tuition coverage at the Institute of Child Development or an approved Before/After Care Program for school-age children, please visit the CCAMPIS website to locate an application. https://sites.create.ou.edu/happyouproject/

You can also email any questions to happyouproject@ou.edu.

Fees are paid on a monthly basis, based on the contracted schedule. Some important features of this fee schedule are the following:

1. Annual tuition rates are based on the contracted schedule. The annual tuition rate is divided equally per month and billed on a monthly basis.
2. Your annual tuition rate is assessed based on the classroom program in which your child is enrolled.
3. Charges are based on the contracted enrollment schedule. You pay for the schedule you have contracted, whether your child attends or not. This includes inclement weather, emergency closures, family vacation days, and days your child is home sick. Even if the school is not open the full month to tuition is still due.  It is calculated for the time your child will be here and then broken up into 10 monthly payments.
4. There is a 5% discount for each additional sibling enrolled during the same contract year.
5. Tuition rates and fees are subject to change. Families should anticipate a rate increase with each new contract year.
