Admission


  Metal Insets

Motor skills associated with writing are learned with the help of Metal Insets. The child selects a geometric shape, traces the shape on paper, and fills in the outline with colored pencils.

Admission

Applications should be submitted by March 1st of the desired enrollment year. Prospective parents will be contacted early in March regarding their child’s placement.

Children must be three years old by December 31st of the admission year to begin our program in September. Children must be reliably toilet trained and self-sufficient in the bathroom upon admittance. Admission priority is given to younger applicants as the program is ideally designed to be a three year program. Priority is also given to siblings of other students and families of alumni. Children will be enrolled throughout the year as openings occur. Admission is not denied on basis of sex, race, religion, national origin or special need.

Interested parents should call the school and schedule an appointment to visit. The first visit should be made without your child. During this visit, you will meet with the Director and observe in a classroom. A second visit will then be scheduled for you to visit with your child. Visits are scheduled on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays at 9:30 or 10:00 a.m.


Class Size

The enrollment in each classroom is limited to twenty children. Each classroom is staffed with three teachers. The Head Teacher is present for the entire school day and the two Assistant Teachers divide the day with overlap in schedules mid-day. A child's classroom placement is based on factors such as their age, sex and the existing dynamics of each classroom. Our goal is to have diverse classrooms with proportionate ages of both boys and girls.
