Director's views on diversity:
We strive to. Although people's identities are complex and in life cannot be reduced to numbers, in order to give you some sense we share these numbers below. in 2005-2006, 36% of our students are students of color (for more details, see fact sheet on our web site). 22% live in families that do not have the traditional mom-dad-children structure. 16% of our families receive tuition assistance. 8% of our children have identified special needs.

Director's Comments
Question to director: Please list anything you wish parents to be aware of with respect to the application process.
Parents can come either for a small parent-led tour during school hours or a larger group orientation in the evening by the director (which includes video clips of the classroom). Parents will receive an application at either of these events. Because of the volume of applications, we are not able to have personal contact with applicants. We do notify applicants in March about September admissions. Applicants who are not admitted in the year they prefer can remain on our wait list until kindergarten and just update us by note or email each year if they remain interested. We do have openings in each of the two, three, four and five year old programs.
