Prospective Parents
Current Schedule
The Preschool Learning Lab (PLL) program is available Monday through Friday, 8:30am-4:30pm. The Preschool Learning Lab is open year-round and closed during all academic holidays and academic breaks.
Application Process
Children must be three years old by their first day of attendance and developmentally ready to participate in the PLL environment. We offer rolling enrollment and welcome children throughout the year as space becomes available.
As part of the enrollment process, families are invited to participate in a program tour when a space becomes available. This visit provides an opportunity for families and program staff to engage in observation and conversation, building a shared understanding to support a smooth and successful transition.
Enrollment priority is offered in the following order:
- Current Cal Poly faculty and staff families
- Currently enrolled children and their siblings
- Community families
Tuition
A current tuition schedule is available upon request. Please contact us at preschoollabadmin@calpoly.edu to receive the most up-to-date rates and program options.
