KIDS COLLECTIVE PRESCHOOLFAQ

Find quick answers to common questions about our programs, enrollment, and daily life to help you feel confident and prepared every step of the way.

WHAT WE STAND FOR

Curiosity leads, questions follow.

At Kids Collective, we believe great learning begins with great questions; both from children and their families.

Our approach is built on three guiding principles: fostering independence, building strong family connections, and cultivating joy in learning. We know that choosing a preschool is a big decision, and we’re here to make that journey easier.

That’s why we’ve answered your most common questions below, about enrollment, schedules, class sizes, and more so you feel confident, informed, and supported from day one.

CAN I ATTEND A SCHOOL TOUR?

Yes. We encourage families to meet with a member of the School leadership team and take a school tour to get comfortable with the program and school of their choice.

WHEN CAN MY CHILD START?

Children can begin attending Kids Collective as early as 2 years old. We offer rolling admissions throughout the year, depending on availability. We encourage families to apply early to secure their preferred start date and schedule.

HOW FAR IN ADVANCE CAN I ENROLL MY CHILD?

We encourage families to inquire as early as possible, with some beginning the process up to a year in advance. Enrollment depends on start date preferences, classroom availability, and current waitlists. There’s no obligation to commit immediately, but submitting an enrollment inquiry helps us understand your needs and keep you informed as space becomes available.

HOW MANY CHILDREN ARE IN THE CLASSROOM AND WHAT IS THE TEACHER/CHILD RATIO?

We have 8 or 12 children in our preschool classes. The teacher/child ratio is: 4-6.

WHAT DO YOU USE THE MATERIALS FEE FOR?

We believe that all children deserve the best materials available to express themselves. From our clay pit to a wide variety of artist media, our children explore and discover the materials that speak their language.  Our co-constructed projects require mastery of many materials to fully explore an idea. A project may require pastels or watercolor in the planning stage, wire or blocks to brainstorm, cloth and beads to build components, circuits to test hypothesis, cameras to document.

WHY DO YOU REQUIRE A TOUR OF THE SCHOOL PRIOR TO APPLYING?

Our school is truly unique in its mission and passion. The community is stronger when its members share that mission and passion. To create a truly high-quality experience for our children, we believe that it’s important for teachers and parents to provide consistent, focused messages.
