Advice from Parents to Prospective Parents on Admissions
Parent #1
I think it's just first-come, first-served sort of thing.
Parent #2
Apply early and start child out in the 2 year old class, 2 day program, or afternoons to get your foot in the door. I had to start my 3 year old in the afternoons--but the afternoons turned out to be great.
Parent #3
Applied early.
Parent #4
I started looking early enough that there was still space available to enroll in one of the classes (Tues / Thurs AM). We were waitlisted for our preferred days and ended up getting them (MWF AM).
Parent #5
We had a tour of the school and thought the head of school was great and very knowledgeable.
Parent #6
Be flexible about which session to attend
Parent #7
Applied early, we were fine with Tuesday, Thursday schedule instead of M-W-F mornings, which is most popular.
Parent #8
apply early and/or be flexible on days/times
Parent #9
I didn't do anything special, but my daughter didn't want to leave! She felt very comfortable immediately, and I think they knew she would be happy there.

Being Savvy Today
My Year of Giving Thanks
A year is such a strange thing. It's hard to define, other than to say that it's (generally) 365 days long, or to assign some notion of time to it. Yet, the truth is, so much happens in a year that all those events and experiences seem enough for
Montessori? Waldorf? Play-based?
What school type is right for your child? Is one model better than another? What does the research say?

Today's “Preschool’s Out” Activity
Trace around your child's foot, with shoe on, on a piece of white construction paper or card stock. Have child cut out the shoe print and add a spooky face. Glue it to a popsicle stick and you have a ghost stick puppet!
