How to set up pre-registration?

Overview

In high-demand programs, spots often fill up within minutes—or even seconds—of the registration window opening. The Pre-registration feature is designed to give families a competitive edge and reduce the stress of opening dayInstead of rushing to fill out lengthy forms while the clock is ticking, families can complete all necessary forms and waivers in advance. When the official registration period begins, the system saves your progress, so you can finalize enrollment with a single click.
