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