This is an adult event where families can receive information regarding the program's curriculum, as well as meet the program's administrators, teachers and staff. In addition, teachers share what a typical day might look like. There is time for questions, prior to a short visit to the classrooms. Child Outreach appointments can be made at that time, if the child has not yet been screened.
We do the best we can to accommodate family requests for a particular session/teacher. Unfortunately we are limited to the number of slots available in each session. Often times, we must have a lottery when more than the number available applies for one session or another.
No. Parents/Guardians must provide their own transportation to and from school.
All applicants will have the opportunity to participate in the lottery. If slots open up, after the lottery takes place, we will use the date stamps to determine who will be contacted to fill the available slot(s). If a new classroom opens up during the school year, all age eligible applicants will be offered an opportunity to participate in the lottery.
