Gender and age balance of a classroom may be considered in enrollment decisions. The Children’s School admits and welcomes children from all families, without discrimination on the basis of race, national or ethnic origin, color, religious beliefs, family configuration or disability which can be reasonably accommodated

    FAQ

    Children can enter The Children’s School at two years old in our Younger Part Time Class or our Younger All Day class. The Younger Part-Time class is for children who are two years old to 3 years old. Families in their first year of attendance must participate in a parent discussion group September through January. This discussion group meets on Mondays during class time.

    Children needing the full-day preschool program must be 2 years old by September 1.

    There is a non-refundable application fee. We keep your child on an age-appropriate waiting list for potential enrollment from the time of application through second grade.

    Each family on the waiting list is given two opportunities to accept an opening in the school when it is offered. Upon the second refusal by the family, the child’s name remains on the waiting list, but is placed at the bottom of the list. Families who are offered an opening in the school but do not respond to the offer remain on the waiting list but go to the bottom of the list.

    Enrollment priority is given to present families (current students first, then siblings), then alumni families, and finally, new families, according to their original date of application.
