Admissions
Enrollment Update - 2025-26 School Year (as of 2/1/25): Enrollment for the 2025-26 school year is underway. We are working our way down the waiting list with offers for placement. This process can take until early- to mid-March to complete depending how quickly families respond to offers. Families will be notified via phone and email if a space is available for them to consider. Those remaining on the list will be notified when all openings have been filled.
Our programs are currently full for the 2024-25 school year. We are accepting waitlist applications for the 2025-26, 2026-27, 2027-28, and 2028-29 school years.
Children can be added to our waitlists at any time after the child’s birth by completing the Enrollment Application below. Following submission you will receive an email confirming your child’s space on the waitlist or a placement offer if a space is available. Admission is based on space availability and age eligibility, with preference first given to returning families and staff, and then to the date of application submission.

Open House Events
We host several open houses each school year, and encourage families to attend one of our events to explore our learning spaces, meet our educators, and learn more about our unique program. Upcoming open house dates are March 12, 2025, October 8, 2025, January 7, 2026 and March 11, 2026.
We typically do not offer individual tours so if a visit to our campus is important for you to accept a placement with us please plan to attend an Open House event prior to February of your preferred enrollment year. (e.g. If you are hoping to enroll for the 2026-27 school year please come visit before February 2026.)
