We invite you to come and connect with us to learn more about the meaningful daily activity within our sensory-rich learning environment. We encourage you to visit and hear about our approach to protecting the wonder and joy of childhood, all while cultivating the young child’s healthy physical, emotional and cognitive growth.
NEW FAMILIES: In-Person Family Visit
Meeting you and your child at our school is a required first step for enrollment. We offer an in-person family visit to via our indoor/outdoor Open House Day via (outside play garden and classroom as well as indoor space and classrooms) or for later enrollment, an individual family visit during “Rolling Enrollment”.
A family reservation is required (and is limited in size to – one or both parents and your child). We set a fair number of family spaces for our open house day, to try to create as much opportunity for new families to visit and spend some time with us. Our school is small, and with a high retention rate and demand for remaining spaces, we will accept reservations to the extent that we are able. If the reservation spots fill up, we’ll start a waitlist. Should there be any reservation cancellations for the open house day, we will contact you immediately. Please contact us here to make a reservation and confirm we have space for you and your child to join us. NOTE: We kindly request your child’s name and date of birth when reserving your space and along with parent names who will be attending with your child.
Rolling Enrollment (after March 28th) The school is able to continue offering placement for new families during rolling enrollment, up to January of each school year. Contact us here to inquire about late enrollment opportunities and to set up an initial call with the director. The in-person family visit can be scheduled soon after the initial phone call.
