Eligibility & Application
Eligibility & Application Information
Applications for participation in the Infant Development Program are welcome from parents and grandparents who are current students, staff, or faculty at UCLA. Applicants are placed on a waiting list, so it is advisable to put in an application as early as possible. Families may apply when pregnant, when adoption papers have been submitted, or for a child under age three.
If you wish to apply, please make a reservation to tour the IDP at the following link:
Tours will be held on the Third Tuesday of Every Month 9:45 – 11:15
Tours are limited to eight families and advance reservation is required. Tours will be held on a monthly basis. Applications are available online only after you have attended the tour and paid the $75 non-refundable application fee. However, because of the limited number of spaces available, payment of the application fee and filing of the form do not guarantee acceptance into the program.
At any time, please inform the IDP of changes in your address, phone numbers, work location, or childcare needs.
If you receive notice that there is an opening available for your child, you will have 48 hours in which to make a decision about accepting the position. The fee for enrolling is $100, which offsets the initial investment in transition your child and your family into the program. If you do not wish to accept the position offered you at that time, you may choose to remain on the waitlist or have your name removed. If you choose to remain on the waitlist, your name is placed at the bottom of the list for your priority category (please see our Waitlist Policy for more details).
If you have any questions about IDP tours, our application procedure or about our program in general, please feel free to contact us at idpstaff@psych.ucla.edu or (310) 825-2896. Thank you.
