What if the class I want fills up?

All registration is accepted on a first-come basis until the classes fill. At that point we open a waiting list for the class you wanted. Call or e-mail our Front Office to add your child to the list. No worries,

we're usually able to get a few people from the waiting list for each age group into a class throughout the spring and summer.

Who will be my child's teacher?

At the Open House you'll get to meet all of our wonderful staff. The Teacher's Room and Age-Group assignments change from year to year, but no worries...your child will have a GREAT year in any of our fun-filled, loving classrooms. Mid-summer we'll send you a Welcome e-mail Packet with a picture and letter from your child's teacher to introduce you along with all the other goodies you'll need to know to start the year.

If you want to request a specific teacher, you can send that information with your registration in the "Comments" section of the online registration form...or call/e-mail the front desk and we'll note your request. We'll do our best to honor your request as we balance the classes for boy/girl ratio.

What will my child learn?

Our goal is to nurture the curiosity and wonder little ones bring to learning. We feel children learn best by doing…so when you visit our classrooms, you’ll see lots of hands-on learning going on. Building blocks, classroom pets, messy art, science experiments, cooking projects and more. Your child’s day will be an opportunity to learn about the world around them as we explore weekly themes and expand their academic foundation

Learning is about so much more than just the ABC’s and 123′s. Your child will also be developing their social skills as they learn to work & play with their peers, refine gross motor skills during outdoor play time, develop fine motor skills with art projects, pencil work & playdough, and develop an understanding of the scientific process as we learn about plant & animal growth, magnets & the solar system. Parents are welcome to visit and volunteer in the classroom.
