Step 1 - Application
After submitting the application, you will receive further information about the following steps.
Step 2 - Teacher Information Form
Bengal Tot (2-year-old) applicants are required to submit a Developmental Questionnaire. This form may be completed by a teacher, caregiver, or parent.
For Bitty Bengal and Jr. Kindergarten applicants, your child's current preschool/daycare teacher will be asked to complete a Teacher Information Form. We encourage teachers to email or mail these forms directly to GDS after completion. If your child does not attend any type of school setting, this form will be waived from the process.
It is the family's responsibility to give these forms to their child's current teacher/school.
