An important note about Infant-Toddler Admissions
Our Infant and Toddler programs are part of our school’s academic-year structure (September through May), designed to mirror the rhythm and purpose of a traditional school calendar. This rich, engaging school-year experience that lays the foundation for a seamless transition into our Primary and Elementary programs.
We do not provide year round childcare that covers the summer months or other school holidays.
