Advice from Parents to Prospective Parents on Admissions
Parent #1
Stayed in touch with the director to keep her informed of our continued interest.
Parent #2
It's a little arbitrary. That makes it difficult.
Parent #3
This is a small school. Most families who apply hear about it by word of mouth. We knew several families who sent their kids there and were happy.
Parent #4
Stay in touch and don't take no for an answer. *Lots* of people drop out, so there are often openings mid-year.
Parent #5
Barbara Alexander favors working families for whom an inexpensive preschool is a necessity. She also prefers families who are committed to sending their children to public school.
Parent #6
just kept contacting the director and reiterating our interest!
Parent #7
Met with the director almost a year and half in advance of start date in order for her to meet our son and us.
