Visiting our school
Frequently Asked Questions:
(1) What age does my child
need to be at the start of the school year?
Children must be between 2 years, 9 months and 5 years when they enter
school in September. This ensures that there is not too large an age
span in the mixed-age classroom.
(2) Does my child need to
be toilet trained at the start of school?
No. We understand that toilet-training is a gradual process and that
children will not all be fully trained by the start of the school year.
We do ask, however, that toilet training be in progress: this gives
children a sense of mastery and feeling of maturity, and at the same
time allows the teachers and parent of the day to stay involved in
helping children through the daily activities rather than needing to
take time out to change diapers.
(3) Can I apply now to
enroll my child in the 2012-2013 school year?
Yes. We are now accepting applications for the 2012-2013 school year.
(4) Can I visit the
school?
Yes. Beginning October 15th prospective parents are welcome to schedule a visit to observe (adults only) the class and meet the teachers. Please contact one of our teachers by phone weekdays between 11am and 1pm to schedule a observation. The school phone number is 201-309-0440.
(5) Do you have an Open
House?
Yes.
We will be holding two open houses. The first open house will be held on Sunday, January 8, 2012 from 3:30-5:30.
The second open house will be held on Saturday, January 21, 2012 from 10-12.
Both open house will be held at the school, 242 10th Street.

application process?

application is submitted, the prospective child and parent(s) are
invited for a play visit during school hours (usually at around 3:00
p.m.) to spend time in the classroom and meet the teachers; this
typically occurs in January through the end of February. Families will be notified of acceptance to the school during the first week of March.
