Advice from Parents to Prospective Parents on Admissions

Parent #1
Being willing to enroll in the afternoon( instead of morning) program our first year, when our son was 21/2.

Parent #2
I met the director on my tour of the school and after the tour, I sent her a letter expressing my tremendous interest in the school. In fact, I stated that it was my first choice and I was very specific about why I thought it was the right fit for my particular child.

Parent #3
I went on tour and wrote a persuasive ' thank you' letter.

Parent #4
I made it very clear to the director that I believed in the Reggio method and that the school was our first. I struck a balance of calling often without calling too often.

Parent #5
I signed my son up for the Afternoon program--it worked for me as he was taking naps intermittently. And I asked a friend whose children went there to talk to the director and put a good word in for us.

Parent #6
We were willing to start in the afternoon program.

Parent #7
We attended their summer school program prior to the beginning of the school year while we were on the waitlist.
