A few important details
- Securing enrollment. A place is confirmed once all enrollment forms are complete, the $350 non-refundable enrollment fee is paid, and the first month's tuition is received by the school.
- Waitlist & sibling preference. If a program is at capacity, families are enrolled from the waitlist on a first-come, first-served basis. Siblings of current students receive preference over new families.
- Toileting independence (Primary). Before starting in Children's House, children need to be fully independent with toileting — recognizing the need to go and managing on their own, and staying dry through nap if they stay for it. The occasional accident is completely normal; if regular accidents are still happening, we'll simply delay the start until potty training is complete.
Frequently asked questions
What is the admissions process?
It's a simple three-step process: schedule and attend a tour, submit an application, and complete enrollment. We'll guide you at each step — call (623) 935-7737 to begin.
Is there an application fee?
There's a $350 non-refundable enrollment fee, paid with the first month's tuition to secure your child's place.
Does my child need to be potty trained?
Children entering our Children's House (ages 3–6) do need to be potty trained. Our Nido infant and toddler programs do not have this requirement.
Do you have a waitlist, and is there sibling priority?
Because our classrooms keep balanced age groupings and low ratios, spaces can be limited and a waitlist may apply. Siblings of current students receive enrollment priority.
When should we apply?
We encourage families to begin early, especially for the most sought-after age groups. Reach out any time to check current availability.
