Financial Aid 

We strive to be an inclusive and welcoming community for all. As such, we are pleased to be able to offer financial aid to qualifying families. Please indicate your intent to apply for financial aid on your child's enrollment application. Families will be provided with additional information on how to apply for financial aid once we receive your child's enrollment application.

Applicants with Special Education Needs

We want to ensure that we are the right school for each child. We designate a significant number of seats for children with a variety of special education needs, but are most successful with children who are interested in socializing with others and have some language and/or communication abilities. At the end of the application process, children with identified special needs will be invited to come to a playdate with a parent.  The playdate gives us a chance to get to know your child  and ensure that our program will meet his or her needs and help him or her to develop well under our care.

If you have any questions about your child's needs and the application process, our Inclusion Specialist, Nancy Schwartz, will be happy to talk with you about your child. Her extension is 208.
