Enrollment is facilitated through personalized tours, which potential students must attend.
We offer tours daily from 9:30 to 10:30 am.
If these times are not convenient for you, please let us know, and we will do our best to arrange an alternative.

During the tour, you will have the opportunity to meet our teachers, observe our classrooms in action, and receive comprehensive information about our program, including the application form.

We are excited to expand our Morning and Afternoon Extended Care hours for the 2025-26 school year to better serve our community.
