Registration Process

Each Purdue University on-campus child care center maintains a year-'round registration list. This website allows you to register your children at one or more available centers.

Please note that registering your children does not guarantee enrollment.

Priority System

Each child care center has its own priority system that determines the level of priority that children who have been registered will receive when being considered for enrollment.

For all centers, the earlier your child is registered the higher the enrollment priority. Your child might also receive higher priority if:

Your child has a sibling in the desired child care center
You or another parent is affiliated with Purdue
You or another parent lives in Purdue Village (applies only to Purdue Village Preschool)

The High/Medium/Low indicators for each center on each child's MyFamily page are the best indicators of how soon they may be enrolled.

Using This Website

Logging In

To register your children using this website, you must first log in using a Purdue career account. Once one family member has done this, others may be invited by that person to log in and update the family information using either their Purdue Career Account or their Microsoft account. If you do not have a Purdue Career Account, please complete the PDF Application and return it to any Purdue Child Care Center.

Adding Family Information

After you have logged in, you must provide required information about your family, including which child care center you want to register for. For some centers, you will have to pay a waiting list fee in order to complete registration.

Editing Family Information

Purdue child care centers will communicate with families on the waiting list as necessary. It is important you keep your family information current. You can edit existing family information at any time by logging into this website and making the desired changes.
