How does the wait list work?

If the program you are trying to enroll in is on a wait list, you may register for the wait list by clicking the “Join the Wait List” button under your school on the Locations page. You will be notified by email when the wait list is lifted, and asked if you would still like your registration processed. Spots are granted in the order answers to this inquiry are received.

The program was likely placed on a wait list due to significant demand, not enough space available, or staffing shortage, and may not be lifted unless we can obtain more program space or hire more staff. Therefore, we are unable to know when the wait list will be lifted. If you have any further questions, please contact us at 317-283-3817, ext. 123 or info@ayskids.org.

Weekly Payments

Payments are accepted online by credit card or bank account. We are unable to take payments at the program site. In special circumstances, we may accept money orders at our administrative office; however, arrangements for this must be in advance. Please contact us at registrar@ayskids.org for more information.
