You may qualify for our program if your child will be 2 years or younger on September 1, 2026 and you can say ‘yes’ to any of the following:

If your child will be 2 years or younger on September 1, 2026, click the link below to fill out an online inquiry form for our program. If you already have a child enrolled in our program, have previously filled out an inquiry form, have questions about eligibility, or need other help with the inquiry process, please email ChildApps@TulsaEducare.org.
Once your inquiry form is submitted, the next steps are completing an Eligibility Interview and submitting qualifying documents. Our Admissions Specialist will contact you to schedule an interview and outline the documents needed to verify your information and determine whether your family meets our program’s eligibility requirements. The time it takes for our Admissions Specialist to contact you depends on the volume of inquiry forms being received and the number of openings available at our schools.
After completing the Eligibility Interview and reviewing your qualifying documents, our Admissions Specialist will determine if your family meets our program’s eligibility requirements and notify you of the outcome. If your family qualifies for our program, you’ll be placed on a waitlist and contacted by one of our schools when a spot becomes available! Wait times vary.
Feel free to stop by any of our schools, and we'll help you complete an inquiry form using one of our computers. At this time, we only have electronic inquiry forms.
After submitting your inquiry form, you will automatically receive an email confirming your form was received and providing information about next steps. If you haven't received the email, please check your spam folder. If you still don't find it, contact ChildApps@TulsaEducare.org.
Inquiry forms are processed in the order in which they are received. The time it takes for our Admissions Specialist to contact you regarding your inquiry depends on the volume of inquiry forms being received and the number of openings available at our schools. We appreciate your patience.
Please note that you will not be contacted by our Admissions Specialist to schedule an Eligibility Interview if your child is over two and a half years old at the time your inquiry form is processed.
Nope! We only need your child's immunization record to verify their name and date of birth.
If you have foster care placement paperwork, guardianship paperwork, power of attorney, or a notarized letter from the child's biological parent, you can submit that with your qualifying documents.
You can use your most recent 1040 tax return or W-2 form for income verification. If you do not have these documents, our Admissions Specialist will work with you to send an employee letter or self-declaration letter.
Wait times are difficult to predict. Tulsa Educare is a full-day, year-round program with mixed-age group classrooms, so we don't have a typical enrollment season like a public school; we fill spaces as children leave or age out of the program. Spaces for children can become available at any time. Each school has its own waitlist that continually changes as new children are enrolled. Additionally, the waitlist is organized on a point system to help us prioritize serving children who will benefit the most from our program.
The best way to get updates on your child's position after they are officially placed on the waitlist is to call the school of choice directly and speak to the Director of Family Services. School contact information can be found here.
If you need help completing your inquiry form, need to check the status of an inquiry form you previously completed, or have other questions about eligibility and admissions, please email ChildApps@TulsaEducare.org, or call 918-508-2253 to speak to our Admissions Specialist.
If you’ve completed an inquiry form in the past or already have a child enrolled in our program, you’ll need to reach out to our Admissions Specialist for assistance in completing a new inquiry form.
If you’ve been notified by our Admissions Specialist that your family qualifies for our program and has been placed on the waitlist, the best way to get updates on your child’s position on the waitlist is to call the school of choice directly and speak to the Director of Family Services.
