Enrollment Process
Twin Cities Community Preschool is a non-profit, parent-participation preschool enrolling children ages 2 years to 5 years. Our school year runs from September through mid-June, following the Larkspur School District Calendar.
We are actively enrolling for the 2025-26 and 2026-27 school years. We also welcome interest from families hoping to enroll for future years.
This page is for enrollment in the school year program. We have a separate process for summer camp enrollment.
How to Apply
1. Attend a Playdate
Family Playdates at Twin Cities Community Preschool are a wonderful chance to mingle with current members and potential new families, meet our director, and get a feeling for our vibrant community and sweet school. View our upcoming Playdates here.
2. Submit An Application
To get started, please complete an application. Your application should include a family photo and the $60 application fee.
We highly encourage families to attend an Playdate or tour before applying. However, we understand that's not always possible. If you can't attend an Playdate or tour, that's not a problem--just submit an application and we will contact you.
Admission decisions are made on a rolling basis starting in January. Applications received before January 1 have highest priority.
3. Participate in a Shadow Day
After you apply, schedule a shadow day with the Membership Committee by emailing membership@twincitiescoop.org. During the shadow day, you will get a sense for the everyday flow and all the fun of our sweet school. Also you will have a chance to sit down with our Director and a membership committee member to review the details of our co-op model and parent participation, and answer any questions you may have.
3. Complete the Enrollment Packet
After admission, you’ll receive an email with a link to our enrollment packet. The enrollment packet includes a number of forms that you will be asked to fill out and submit online. All forms should be completed as soon as possible.

*Program recommendation for children ages 2.0–2.9: TCCP recommends that children in this age range begin with the AM program schedule. Families may consult with teachers about transitioning to the Hybrid or Full Day program.
Parent Participation
Parent participation remains central to our philosophy and critical to the effective running of the school. Parents are expected to teach one morning per week and also contribute to the school by taking on a chair position (e.g. facilities, fundraising, health and safety, membership, parent engagement, treasurer, etc.), attending monthly membership meetings, joining regular parent education sessions, and assisting with maintenance projects.
Please visit the Parent Participation page for more details.
