Registration & Costs
Who is eligible to use the center?
First priority for enrollment into the child care center is for low income Mountain View Residents. Second priority goes to City of Mountain View residents in general. If spaces remain available after all first and second priority families have been accommodated, the available spaces are filled the third priority, City employees. First priority families always have priority enrollment over others if the center has a waiting list. Eligibility will be verified before the enrollment process can be completed.
How do I enroll my child in the center?
One lottery participation form and $25 fee is required per child (siblings need individual forms). Families have two options for completing the lottery process.
Under Option A, families may send the lottery form via fax at 408-716-3221 to CCLC and mail their $25 fee in the form of a personal or casher's check to the CCLC Home Office (address below).
Option B, families may send both the lottery form and $25 fee in the form of personal or cashier's check to our home office (address below).
Under either option, once the lottery form and $25 fee have been received, the lottery form will be time-stamped. The date that the lottery form is received is important. If you are not selected in the lottery you will be placed on the waiting list in the order in which the form was received.
All required forms can be located in our Forms Section.
