How to enroll
How to enroll your child at LSU
Enrolling at LSU takes four steps: tour, send an inquiry, complete Ohio's required forms, and plan a gradual first week. The only paperwork that needs an outside appointment is the medical statement from your child's doctor.

Enrollment questions
What paperwork does Ohio require to enroll in child care?
Ohio requires a child enrollment and health information form and a medical statement from your child's doctor, which includes immunization records. The center gives you the forms and keeps them on file.
How long does enrollment take?
Once there is an opening, most families finish enrollment within a week. The doctor's statement usually takes the longest, so book that visit early.
