How to enroll

  1. 01

    Step 1: Get in touch

    Call or text us, or send a question from the contact page. The director answers, usually within a working day.

  2. 02

    Step 2: Book a tour

    Tours are on Tuesday and Thursday mornings, about 45 minutes. You see the studio, the room and the yard, and you meet both teachers.

  3. 03

    Step 3: Apply

    Fall applications open in January. The form asks about your family and your child's age, and nothing medical.

  4. 04

    Step 4: Join the waitlist

    When the room is full, we put your child on the waitlist. We offer places in the order families joined, and we write to you as soon as one opens.

  5. 05

    Step 5: Register

    Once you have a place, you register through our parent portal. The enrollment forms, medical forms and agreements are there, privately.

  6. 06

    Step 6: The first day

    The first week is staggered: a few children at a time on different mornings, with a parent welcome to stay until the child is ready. Bring a full change of clothes and rain boots.

Visit
