Good to Know

Questions parents ask us most

Everything you need to feel confident before your tour. Still curious? We're always happy to chat.

How does the enrollment process work?

It starts with a personal tour where you meet our teachers and see the classrooms. If it feels like the right fit, we'll guide you through a simple application, a short parent-child visit, and enrollment paperwork. We'll be with you every step.

What does tuition cost, and what's included?

Tuition varies by program and schedule (part-time, full-time, and extended care options are available). It includes all Montessori materials, enrichment activities, and daily outdoor play. We'll share a detailed tuition sheet during your tour so there are no surprises.

Is there a waitlist?

Some age groups fill faster than others, especially our Pre-K class. Booking a tour early is the best way to secure a spot. If a class is full, we'll add you to the waitlist and notify you the moment a place opens.

What does the daily curriculum look like?

Our toddler curriculum is thoughtfully designed to support development through hands-on sensory play, songs and language work, movement, storytime, and outdoor play. Each day balances gentle guided activities and free play that nurture language development, motor skills, and social play in a warm, encouraging environment.

Are meals and snacks provided?

No. Due to diet restrictions, allergies, and other considerations, we ask parents to pack a daily lunch, snacks, and any other food items. We gladly heat up food for our little ones!

What are your safety protocols?

Your child's safety is our top priority. We maintain secure keypad entry, background-checked and CPR/First-Aid-certified staff, low child-to-teacher ratios, daily health checks, and strict pickup verification. Our facility is fully licensed and inspected by the State of California.

How do you handle check-ins, communication, and updates?

We use BrightWheel — a convenient app that makes it easy for parents to check children in and out, receive photos and updates throughout the day, and stay in communication with our team. It's simple, secure, and keeps you connected to your toddler's day!
