How to Register for Early Learning Classes

Create an Account

For new families, you must have an Eleyo account for yourself, and a profile for your child/children you wish to register, before you can enroll in any of the Edina Early Learning Center programs. Click here to create your account and click on the blue "sign in" button in the top right-hand corner of the page to create your account.

For returning families, log into your Eleyo account and confirm all information is current and that all family members have a profile created.

Check Birthdate Guidelines

Select your classes based on your child’s age as of September 1 of the academic year you wish to register. For example, for the 2022-23 school year, use your child's age as of September 1, 2022. It is the Edina Public Schools policy to use September 1 to determine age eligibility.

Billing Information
Class Cancellations, Change Requests and Refunds

Billing Information

The Edina Family Center accepts payments by American Express, Visa, Master Card or Discover credit/debit cards.
Upon acceptance of your Early Childhood Family Education, Preschool, All Day Pre-Kindergarten, Extended Learning or weekly parenting class registration, your credit card on file will be charged one month’s fee. This will be applied towards your first month’s tuition. All other parenting classes (book studies, single-topic discussions and those that meet monthly) will be charged the full amount.
A $50 nonrefundable registration fee will be charged for classes that meet on a weekly basis for the duration of the school year. For preschool classes, this fee will be charged at the time your contract is accepted.
Once classes begin, your card on file will be charged on the first day of each month for the next month’s tuition. For example, on September 1, you will be charged for October tuition.
Sibling Care fees (if requested) will be added to your monthly Early Childhood Family Education, (ECFE), year-long weekly parenting and/or preschool class payment.
All non-ECFE classes will receive monthly invoices approximately 3 business days prior to credit cards being charged.
A late payment fee of $20 per month will be assessed on all declined credit/debit card and bank account transactions.
Late pick-up fee is $1.00 per minute after class has ended.
In order to ensure an equitable process, a lottery will be used for classes without a parenting component (classes beginning in 0003, 0045, All Day PreK and Extended Learning). Priority is given to Edina Public School residents.

Preschool (Non-ECFE) Contract Request/Acceptance Process

Contracts must be requested each subsequent school year.
Families will be given a two-week window to request a contract.
Contracts will be assigned a priority level, based on their qualifications. Contract priority will be given if the parent/guardian has submitted a contract request during the established contract request window.
Contracts will be accepted in order of priority.
Contracts will be accepted on a space-available basis. If more contracts are requested than available in a specific program, a random computerized lottery, with no preference for contract request date, will be held.
Contracts are accepted by family/account. Once one student in a family has their contract accepted, all students in that family will also be accepted into the program.
Contracts not approved will automatically be kept on a waiting list for consideration as space in the program becomes available.
Contracts requested after the contract request window will be added to the bottom of the waitlist, regardless of priority qualifications.

Contract Request Window

Contract requests must be submitted during the established two-week window in order to receive priority acceptance.

School Year 2024-25
Contract request window: January 23, 8:00 am - February 5, 11:59 pm
Contract acceptance/waitlist notification to be sent out via email by the week of February 26.
