HOW & WHEN TO APPLY

(2026-2027 School Year)

We have just completed the Re-Enrollment Period for our current WELC students and their siblings.  We have limited space for new students and we welcome your application.   The enrollment link will open at 10am on February 3rd for Temple members to apply.  (Non-members may apply beginning on March 4th.)  Please follow the instructions below.             

Thank you for your interest in our preschool program. If your child is new to WELC, you will first complete a New Student Application and email it to welc@the-temple.org OR mail it to WELC, 1800 Peachtree St. NE, Atlanta, GA 30309, Attn: Sarah or Robin.  You must include the $200.00 nonrefundable application fee payable by check or credit card. This is a one time application fee, not a yearly one.  (If you have already completed this form at some point, there is no need to do so again.) Next, complete the online enrollment form once the link opens. After completion, you will receive a confirmation notice that you completed it. When your child is accepted, you will receive an additional confirmation email and an invoice to pay the tuition deposit. If the class you selected is full, you will receive a notice confirming that your child is on the waiting list.  For questions about our enrollment process, please contact Robin at rreineri@the-temple.org.

Georgia Goal (Alef Fund) Scholarships​ 

The WELC is proud to be a part of the Georgia Tax Credit program (ALEF fund) to help us provide financial support to qualified students in pre-kindergarten and transitional kindergarten. Interested families are encouraged to apply through the Weinberg Early Learning Center's tuition assistance program, which is managed by FACTS, an impartial Grant & Aid Assessment company. Funds are made available for qualified students based on financial needs. 

To be eligible, the student must be a Georgia resident and be eligible to enroll in a qualified pre-kindergarten or transitional kindergarten program. Meeting eligibility requirements is not a guarantee of receiving an ALEF Fund scholarship.
