Enrollment Information
The United Methodist Church promotes an Open Mind, Open Hearts and Open Doors policy in its outreach to the community and beyond. As a ministry of Myers Park United Methodist Church, The Children's Circle also promotes this policy and admits children without regard to race, color, creed, sex or national origin.

Registration takes place each February. Informational meetings are held for interested families prior to the enrollment deadline. Enrollment information is announced in the church's newsletter and The Children's Circle registration materials. A lottery is held for the various class options. Currently enrolled families (church members and non-members) with siblings have first opportunity for placement. Church members not currently enrolled are placed next, followed by families from the community for any spaces remaining
