How enrollment works
Get in touch
Call (917)813-4582. Tell us your child's age and the days you need. We will explain what each program covers and what paperwork to bring. You can also ask us to hold a place while you decide.
Tour the room
See the classroom your child would join and meet the teachers who run it. The tour shows where children eat, rest, and play. Ask about the schedule and how the day is paced. Bring your child along if you can.
Enroll and settle in
Complete enrollment and plan a first week that suits your child's routine. You will confirm pickups, drop-offs, and how we reach you during the day. A shorter first day or two can help. Then your child's place is held.
What to have ready
Most families bring the enrollment forms filled in, a health form and immunization record, and a list of emergency contacts and people allowed to pick up. If you are missing something, ask what can wait. The office can tell you what else your child's age or program needs.
Pack a full change of clothes, labeled with your child's name. Add outdoor gear for the season, and nap items if your child rests. A small comfort object from home can come too. Labels help everything find its way back.
Before the first day, sort out the drop-off routine and who will pick up. Tell us how you want to hear about the day. A quick note at pickup often works best. We can adjust the plan as you and your child settle in.
The first weeks
The first days are often shorter, with a longer stay added once your child is comfortable. A familiar object from home can help. A teacher greets your child by name at the door. That greeting is the start of the routine.
At pickup, teachers tell you how your child ate, rested, and played. You hear what went well and what was hard. Most children settle within a few weeks, though every child is different. Ask us anything you want to know at the door.

What families ask
What about tuition?
Ask about current rates when you call or tour. They depend on your child's age and schedule.
What ages do you take?
Children from preschool to school-age.
When can my child start?
Enrollment runs throughout the year. Call (917)813-4582 to ask about a place.
Can we visit before deciding?
Yes. A tour is how most families decide, and children are welcome to come along.
What should my child bring on the first day?
Families usually pack a change of clothes, a comfort object from home, and anything your child needs for rest. Label everything with your child's name. If you are unsure what to bring, just ask us.
How do you handle the first weeks?
Settling in usually starts with shorter days. You might bring a familiar object from home, like a small blanket or a favorite toy. At pickup, teachers tell you what your child did and how they ate and slept, so you know how the day went. This slow start helps everyone feel at ease.
What does a typical day include?
A day is built around arrival, play and learning, meals and rest, outdoor time, and pickup. Our programs cover before school, the school day, after school, and school breaks, so the shape of the day depends on the program your child joins. The details vary by age group, and we can walk you through them.
How will I know how my child is doing?
Parents usually hear about the day at pickup, when teachers share how your child ate, rested, and played. You can also tell us how you would like to be updated, and we will follow that. For anything urgent, we call.
Do you offer part-time or flexible schedules?
Schedules depend on your child's age group and what openings we have. Ask us what is available for the days you need, and we will tell you.
What if there is no place right now?
If we do not have a place for your child's age right now, you can ask to be told when one opens. We will keep your details on file.
What should I ask on the tour?
Ask about hours, meals, and how pickups work. Ask how the first weeks are handled and what a typical day looks like for your child's age. The answers will tell you whether this is the right fit.
