We’re so glad you’re interested in joining the BKL ELC community! Enrollment for the upcoming school year opens each January, and we follow a simple three-step process to welcome new families.

How to Apply for the 2026–2027 School Year

1. Fill out the Interest Form Below & Schedule a Tour 

• All prospective families begin with a personal tour of our school. This visit helps you learn about our classrooms, curriculum, and community—and ensures we can get to know your family as well.
• Please fill out the interest form here, and we will reach out to you to schedule a tour. 

2. Join Our Waitlist

• After the tour, families may choose to join our waitlist.
• Our waitlist for the 2026–2027 school year is open now.
• This link will be sent to you after your tour.

3. Enrollment Timeline

Enrollment occurs in stages each January:

• Current families receive the first round of offers.
• Waitlisted families are contacted next, based on availability and age group. We proceed by the date of the waitlist application and priority is given to Temple Israel Members. 

If you’re interested in joining our ELC community, or if you have questions about the process, please contact us — we’re happy to help guide you through next steps.

How to Apply Mid-Year for Enrollment 

For those applying to our program midway through the year, we invite you to come in for a tour and join our waitlist.  Once on the waitlist, families will be contacted when space becomes available. We will stay in communication with you throughout this time and are happy to answer questions as they arise.

Please call (901) 937-2785 or email our Head of School, Blair Trotz at blairt@timemphis.org with any questions!
