A Visit

Call for an appointment for a visit of our school. Meet our staff, learn about our program and ask any questions that you might have. You are always welcome.

Apply

To enroll you child, complete and return an application form with a $250.00 deposit. The deposit is non-refundable unless your child is not accepted, but it is applicable towards tuition. Upon receipt of application, the admission procedure formally begins. A letter of acceptance or non-acceptance is mailed prior to the beginning of the school year. A packet of forms is mailed for the family to complete. The forms are required by Community Care Licensing to be completed before attendance. A copy of the tuition payment information is given.

Interview

An appointment will be made to discuss the child's interest, as well as your goals and expectations for you child. Our interview is designed to gain more information about the family and child, as well as to share more information about our school. We wish to determine the shared values and goals between home and school. A positive experience for the child requires that parents and school share a common view of the purpose of education.

Visiting Day

Toddlers and Preschoolers are invited to visit for a day to be oriented toward the classroom and to determine the suitability of our program.

Notification

You will be notified by the admissions committee as to your acceptance and if a place is currently available.

Wait List

If an opening is not currently available, you may be placed on a waiting list. The school will give its best estimate of when an opening might be available.

Enrollment

Enrollment is an annual process for every student in the school, both for new enrollees and continuing students. Continuing students, siblings are accorded first admission for the following year by submitting a deposit and completing a tuition agreement. This usually occurs in January each year and new enrollees are accepted after the deadline.

Withdrawal

We try to have an exit interview with parents to assess their experience so that we can constantly improve and create a better environment for each child.
