Question 1

How do we start?

Accepted Answer

Send us a tour request from the Contact page — we'll email back with times that work. Applications are submitted online through our application form, but we always hope to meet families in person first.

Question 2

What ages do you take?

Accepted Answer

Roughly 2 years 8 months to 5 years old. If your child is younger, you're welcome to come see us and we'll stay in touch as they approach eligible age.

Question 3

What happens after our visit?

Accepted Answer

We'll talk together about your child's age, your hoped-for start date, and whether we're the right home for your family. If it feels right on both sides, we'll invite you to submit your online application for the next steps.

Question 4

What if the classroom is full?

Accepted Answer

You'll be placed on our waitlist. We only contact families when a real space opens — and if a spot is unlikely, we'll tell you honestly rather than leave you waiting.

Question 5

Do you offer a Summer Program?

Accepted Answer

Yes, each July. Current families are notified first; new families are welcome to join as spaces allow.

Once your application is approved, we'll email you the Registration Package, Parent Handbook, School Calendar and Summer Program information.

Do you offer field trips?
