Children between the ages of 2 and 5 may be eligible for enrollment. There are no admissions tests administered. Children may be asked to visit for an hour or two in our classrooms as we are making our decisions.
Children must have the developmental maturity to manage the anxiety of separating from their parents.
To complete the application process, please:
- Contact us to make an appointment to visit our school and meet our staff.
Receipt of the application, registration fee and first month tuition will hold your child’s spot. A written confirmation will be sent by the Director to confirm their spot.
