A Thoughtful and Relational Approach
A Thoughtful and Relational Approach
We approach enrollment with the same care and intention we bring to our classrooms. Our process is designed to give families time and space to get to know us — and for us to get to know you.
1. Apply Online for 2025-2026

Submit an application for your child to be considered for the upcoming school year.
📌 Families interested in the 2025–2026 school year should apply before our priority deadline of April 22, 2025.
🌱 Interested in a Future Year?
Our applications are year-specific: if your child is not yet eligible or you're thinking ahead to a future school year, we recommend that you fill out our Interest Form instead of submitting an application. Children grow and change so much in just one year — we’ve found that up-to-date applications give us a clearer picture of developmental readiness and family fit.
