Come by, look around, decide slowly.
There's no application fee. There's no rushed decision. Three steps: visit, trial day, welcome. Pip will show you the way.
Three unhurried steps.
Come for a tour.
Saturday mornings, one hour, kids welcome. We walk you through every room in session. Nothing polished, nothing hidden.
Trial day.
Your child spends a morning in the room they'd join. No obligation. Afterward we all sit and talk about how it felt.
Welcome.
If the fit is right, we sign a simple enrollment agreement. Start date can be up to eight weeks out — no rush.
Tell us about your family.
We reply within one business day. This is just a first hello — nothing binding, no credit card, no waitlist deposit.
Approved!
Pip just stamped your paperwork. We'll be in touch within one business day at the email you gave us. If you'd rather grab a tour slot right now, jump over to contact.
The un-fun part, kept simple.
Full disclosure of our licenses, ratios, and safety practices. Ask us anything on your tour.
Nurse on-site
Registered nurse Tues–Sat, 8:00–15:00. All medications logged. Same-day incident reports to families, always.
Ratios that hold
4:1 Sprouts, 6:1 Buds, 8:1 Explorers. No exceptions on any day, including field trips.
CCTV in common areas
Hallways, gates, garden gate. Not in classrooms or bathrooms. Footage retained 30 days, viewable on request.
Asked, answered.
Is there a waitlist?
Yes, but shorter than most people fear — usually 2–6 months for Buds and Explorers, immediate for Sprouts. Ask us for the current number on your tour.
Do you take siblings first?
Yes. Sibling priority is real. We hold two seats per room per year for siblings of current families.
What's your food policy?
Hot lunches cooked on-site by our kitchen team. Vegetarian by default, meat once a week, no ultra-processed anything. Full allergy accommodations.
Financial aid?
Yes — sliding scale based on household income, up to 50% off tuition. Applied for after enrollment, so it never affects admissions.
What if my child hates it?
Then we've learned something together. Trial day is designed to catch mismatches before enrollment. And even after, we do 30-day check-ins — with a graceful exit if it isn't working.
