Frequently asked questions

The questions we are asked most. If yours is not here, the form above reaches us directly.

We are open Monday to Friday, 7:00 AM to 6:00 PM. We close on public holidays and for a small number of staff training days, which are published on the Hours of Operation page at the start of each year.

From three months through kindergarten readiness, across four programmes: Infant/Toddler, Preschool, Pre-K and Kindergarten Readiness. Each one is described on the Our Programs page.

Start with the enrollment application. We will confirm availability in your child’s age group and arrange a visit before anything is agreed. Most families book a tour first.

Please do. Choose “Schedule a tour” on the form above and pick a weekday between 9:00 AM and 4:00 PM. Tours are led by the Program Director and take about half an hour. You are welcome to bring your child.

Sometimes, and it varies by age group — infant places are the ones that fill first. Call us and we will tell you exactly where things stand for your child’s age today.

An immunisation record, an emergency contact form and a signed enrollment agreement. We will send you the full list once a place is confirmed, so nothing is a surprise.

Half an hour with the Program Director answers more than any web page can. Weekday mornings and afternoons, whenever suits you.
