They must be 3 years old by our start date. If your child is not old enough for the Fall Session, they can join us in the Spring. We have open enrollment for every session.

3. Does my child need to be potty-trained?

Yes.  Your child needs to be MOSTLY potty-trained. They need to be out of diapers and able to sit on a toilet. Pull-ups are fine, but you need to send extra with wipes.

4. Do we need to turn in an immunization record?

No.  You do not need to prove immunizations, but we ask that you have your child up to date.

5. What are the drop-off/pick-up times?

Drop off begins at 8:55 a.m. We ask parents not to enter the building until then because our teachers and staff are working hard to prepare for the day’s lesson. Pick up begins at 11:25 a.m. All students must be picked up by 11:35 a.m.

6. What is your illness policy?

If a child has shown symptoms of illness, had a fever, had vomiting or diarrhea in the last 48 hours, they need to stay home.

7. When will I find out my child’s teacher?

Parent emails with session information and class assignments will be emailed the week before the first class. This email will contain the name of your child’s teacher, classroom location and other pertinent information regarding our policies.

8. Do I need to send a snack?

We serve goldfish, animal crackers, and juice for snack. If a child cannot have these items, then yes; please provide one.

9. When will T-shirts be available?

T-shirts will be available for purchase the first day. They are $10 and each class will have the same color for Fall and Spring. (one shirt, 2 sessions) 

10. If I sent an application in the Spring and was put on the waiting list, is my child enrolled for Fall?

Yes! All children who applied in the Spring are enrolled for Fall.
