Admission Requirements
Ages • Our program is a primary program intended for children from 3 to 6 years old. We do enroll children as young as 2 years 9 months, depending on the individual child's readiness. Children younger than this need a different environment with a smaller group of children. Please feel free to email us if your child is currently too young for our program, as we maintain a waiting list and are happy to keep your information on file for the following school year.
Toilet Training Policy • We do not require that all children be able to use the bathroom independently, but we do limit the number of children in cloth trainers to make sure that the staff can take care of their toileting needs as well as the needs of the other children. All children need to be in the process of training by their first day of enrollment.
Tour and Classroom Observation • After thoroughly and carefully reading through our website, the next step toward potential enrollment is to email us and request the virtual tour. Once you have watched the virtual tour, reach out to us via email and request and in-person tour with one of our teachers. We begin scheduling tours in October for potential enrollment into the following school year. We recommend that you email us at sjmsinfo@gmail.com as early as possible, as we often fill up quickly for the next school year. After your tour, we ask that you schedule an observation during the morning work period so that you can see a classroom in action.
Orientation for New Children • Children new to the school attend an Orientation Program that lasts 9 or 10 days before the school year begins. During that period, we set up the classroom with a few interesting materials and work exclusively with the new children. This gives us time to get to know them, and it gives the children a chance to adjust gradually to the new routine.
