Schedule Site Visit
In order to be considered a serious candidate for enrollment, families must schedule a time to visit the Palo Alto preschool with their potential enrollee and hike with the group for a morning or afternoon. We believe that this visitation process enables both the school staff and parents to gather enough information so as to determine whether the expectations of parents and what the school has to offer families are a good match.

Application for Admission
Once the visit has taken place, parents are to indicate their interest and readiness to formally apply for admission by notifying the preschool teacher. The school will communicate to the parents directly as to the availability of space for their child. If there is no current availability, the name of the child will be placed on the wait list. Parents will be notified by telephone when space becomes available for their child.
- Enrollment
When a family is offered a slot for their child and they accept, a "Request for Enrollment," a "Parent-Provider Contract" and a "Financial Agreement" are given to the family. Parents must fill these necessary forms out and return them, along with their deposit payment, to the school within a two week period. Once received by the school, a confirmation letter and receipt are sent to the family.
