4.EXTENDED VISIT: After the application has been submitted, please contact the school to schedule a 2-hour visit for you and your child. If the child is ready, it is hoped you can leave for a period of time so that they may enjoy the school unaccompanied.
5.ACCEPTANCE: If it is decided that the school and your child are a good fit (this is a decision made by you, the teachers and the Director) and space is available, enrollment papers will be provided you. The enrollment fee of $350 and the last’s month’s tuition (amount depending upon the schedule you select) are required to reserve your child’s space. These fees are non-refundable.
It is a Director’s requirement that enrolling children be potty trained, no less than 2 years, 8 months at their start date and that a Parent Interview has been accomplished. This is a meeting with our school Director to become familiar with your child from your perspective; their passions and challenges and your style of parenting so that we may better bridge their experience between home and school.

6.ADDITIONAL VISITS: Your child is encouraged to have several more “visits” before the first day of school- just for fun and to help them become comfortable with the environment. Please call to schedule these visits one month prior to your child’s start date.
(Should you feel that additional or more ‘regular’ visits would help your child better acclimate to school, we are happy to schedule an additional day or ‘Drop-In’ visit on an ‘as desired’ basis until full enrollment begins. These will be charged at a rate of $50.00/per visit.)
7.BEGIN SCHOOL: All enrollment papers and first month’s tuition must be submitted prior to the first day of school. We look forward to welcoming you into our program!
