From First Tour to First Day
Enrolling is simpler than most families expect, and you won't do any of it alone. Here's the path from your first visit to your child's first day, and what to expect along the way.
You Found Your School. Let's Make It Official.
The tour's done, the feeling is right, and now just a few simple steps stand between your family and your first day. Your school's team walks you through all of it, and honestly, we can't wait to welcome you. Here's how it goes.
- A real person at your school guiding each step
- A clear list of what's needed, given up front
- No question too small, from tuition to nap schedules
Your Path to Enrollment
Your school director will be with you every step of the way.
Find Your School
Use our school finder to see the schools near you, what programs and ages each offers, and how to reach them. Location matters more than families expect, the right school is one your daily routine can actually reach.
Schedule a Tour
Visit during a normal day, meet the director, and see the classrooms in action. Bring your child if you'd like, and bring your questions. Tours are at your pace, and there's no commitment attached.
Talk Details
Tuition, availability for your child's age group, start dates, schedules, this is where your school's director gets specific about your family's situation and answers everything.
Finalize Enrollment
Your school walks you through the paperwork step by step: enrollment forms, emergency contacts, authorized pickups, and your child's information, from feeding plans to nap habits to allergies.
Get Ready for Day 1
Your school will tell you what to bring and what to expect. Some families ease in with a shorter first day, ask what your school recommends for your child's age.
First Days are Big Days
Some children bound in without a backward glance; many need a few days to warm up, and tears at drop-off are completely normal at the start. Our teachers have walked hundreds of families through first weeks, and they'll help you build a goodbye routine that works: short, warm, and consistent. Then your daily report does its quiet magic, showing you the tears usually stop before you've reached the car.
- A goodbye routine planned with your child's teacher
- Daily updates from day one, so you see how it's really going
- Teachers experienced in helping new children settle in
Everything You Need to Know
How long does enrollment take?
As long as it takes to complete your paperwork, that's truly the pacing item. When space is available for your child's age, enrollment moves as fast as your family needs it to: we can expedite for a quick start, and children have started as soon as the next day. Need time instead? It moves at your pace too.
How do I start my enrollment?
Just reach out to your school. Call, stop by, or request information through your school Director, and we'll take it from there: paperwork, start date, and everything in between.
When is tuition due and is there a registration fee?
Tuition structure and registration fees vary by school, and your director will lay out the full picture, costs, due dates, and payment options, before you sign anything.
Can we start partway through the year?
Yes, enrollment is year-round as space allows, not tied to a school-year calendar. Whenever your family needs care, that's the right time to reach out.
