ADMISSION CONSIDERATIONS
To be admitted to a preschool or kindergarten class a child must have reached the age of that class by August 31 of that school year.
To be admitted to a class in grades 1 and above, a child must have successfully completed the previous grade in a State-approved educational program.
To be admitted to any class, children must be physically, emotionally, and socially developed to the extent that they are not a danger to themselves or to the health and safety of other children.
To be admitted to any class, children must be toilet trained and able to use toilet facilities independently.
Exceptions to the above admission requirements may be made by the Principal.
Children with special physical, emotional, or learning needs may be admitted, at the discretion of the Principal, if the Principal feels the School is equipped to meet those needs in addition to the needs of other children. However, since the School does not employ behavior specialists or special education teachers, the Principal may determine current school resources are unable to adequately meet the special needs of the child. If this is the case, an effort will be made to help the parents find an appropriate alternative.
OPEN HOUSE
We invite you to see our school environment in action at our annual Open House every January. We would love the chance to show you the incredible classroom and enrichment activities we will be offering to preschool through fourth graders in 2024-2025. Our little school has a big heart, and there is room here for your child to flourish next year.
If you are particularly interested in our kindergarten and first grade programs, please give us a call! We would like to take you on a kindergarten-focused tour during the school day you can feel the excitement and joy in our classrooms yourself. This crucial age range lays the foundation for a strong start in school, and our school excels in helping students transition to the classroom environment in a loving, structured way. Meet our teachers and learn more about our curriculum. We would love to answer all of your questions!
We are adding a fourth grade class in the 2024-2025 school year… and a fifth grade class in 2025-2026!
