Gabriel Park Preschool offers priority enrollment windows for current families as well as alumni families. Please check the calendar and details below to see when applications will be processed for the 2026-2027 school year. 

2026 - 2027 Enrollment Windows & Tiered Lottery System

Returning GPPS Families

Priority Window: 1/26 - 2/3

If your student is currently enrolled at GPPS, you get priority enrollment for the following school year. Enroll between Monday January 26th and end-of-day Tuesday, February 3rd and you will secure your spot for the 2026-2027 school year. 

Alumni Families

Priority Window: 2/4 - 2/6

If you've previously had a student enrolled at GPPS, you have a chance to enroll (or join the waitlist) before we open it up to the general public. Submit your application between Tuesday, February 4th and end-of-day Friday January 6th. 

New Families

Lottery Window: 2/7 - 2/15 

Starting Saturday, February 7th at our Open House (RSVP here) enrollment will open for new families. We use a tiered lottery system, meaning it's not a strictly first-come, first-served application process. We want you to attend the open house, ask questions, and think about if we're the right fit! We will collect applications between Saturday, February 7th and Saturday February 15th from new families. On Monday, February 16th, all submissions will be randomly ordered and processed. If all places in a class are full, students will be placed on our waitlist. 

Open Enrollment

Begins 2/16 

All applications submitted on Monday, February 16th or later will be processed in the order they are received and remaining open seats will be filled on a first come, first served basis.
