Q: Why does the school require a parent interview or conversation?

We believe that a strong partnership between families and schools is essential for a child’s success. A parent conversation helps us better understand your child, your family values, and your expectations, while also giving you the opportunity to learn more about our philosophy, programs, and daily environment. This ensures the best possible fit for both families and our school community.

Q: Is a school tour required before applying?

Yes, all prospective families are encouraged to tour one of our campuses before submitting an application. Visiting the school allows you to experience our classrooms, meet our team, and see how children learn and play each day. In special circumstances, such as families relocating from outside the area, alternative arrangements may be considered.

Q: Do you host an Open House?

Yes, we host Community Open House events throughout the year. These events give families the opportunity to tour the campus, meet teachers and administrators, and learn more about our programs. Dates and registration details are shared on our website and through school communications.

Q: When does enrollment take place?

Enrollment timelines vary by program. Infant and toddler programs typically enroll year-round as space becomes available. Preschool and kindergarten placements are generally offered for fall enrollment, with families encouraged to begin the process in advance. Availability is based on current enrollment and program capacity.

Q: How do I apply or join the waitlist?

Families can begin by scheduling a tour and submitting an application for the program they are interested in. If a space is not immediately available, your child may be placed on a waitlist. Program-specific details can be found on our “How to Apply” pages.

Q: Why is there an application or waitlist fee?

The application fee helps support the administrative time and care involved in reviewing applications, maintaining waitlists, and communicating with families. This process ensures that we are working with families who are genuinely interested in joining our school community.

Q: What ages do your programs serve?

Our schools offer programs for children from infancy through private kindergarten, with age-appropriate classrooms and curricula designed to support each stage of development.

Q: How will I know if my child has been offered a space?

Families are contacted directly when a space becomes available or when admission decisions are made. Our administrative team will guide you through the next steps, including enrollment paperwork and start dates.

Q: Can I contact the school if I have questions during the process?

Absolutely. Our admissions team is always available to answer questions, provide guidance, and support families throughout the application and enrollment process.

Q: When should families begin the application process for the Nursery Program?

Families interested in our Infant or Toddler programs are encouraged to begin the application process as early as possible. Enrollment for nursery programs occurs year-round, depending on availability, and spaces are filled as they open. Early inquiries help ensure the best chance of placement.

Q: Do nursery programs have a fixed enrollment deadline?

No. Our Infant and Toddler programs do not follow a fixed application deadline. Children are enrolled throughout the year whenever a space becomes available.

Q: How is availability determined in the Infant and Toddler classrooms?

Availability depends on current enrollment, age transitions within the program, and licensing ratios. Some spaces open when children move to the next age group, while others may become available at different points during the year.

Q: Are infants given priority to move into the toddler program?

Yes. When possible, children enrolled in our Infant Program are given priority to transition into the Toddler classroom. Remaining openings are then offered to families on the waitlist.

Q: Is a tour required before applying to the Nursery Program?

Yes, families are encouraged to tour the campus prior to applying. A tour allows parents to meet our teachers, observe the classroom environment, and learn more about our approach to infant and toddler care.

Q: What ages are accepted into the Nursery Program?

Our Nursery Programs serve infants and toddlers beginning in early infancy through approximately two years of age. Specific age group placement is based on your child’s age, development, and classroom availability.

Q: How will families be notified when a space becomes available?

When a space opens and your child is next on the waitlist, our admissions team will contact you directly to discuss enrollment details and next steps.

Q: Can families apply to more than one campus?

Yes, families may express interest in more than one location - Peter Pan Academy, Little Seeds Children’s Center, or Peter Pan Preschool depending on availability and program fit.

Q: How are admission decisions made for your Early Childhood programs?

Our admissions process focuses on finding a strong, supportive fit between the child, family, and school community. Each application is thoughtfully reviewed by our administrative team, considering classroom availability, age requirements, and family alignment with our program philosophy. Our goal is to welcome families who will thrive within our nurturing, play-based learning environment.

Q: Does my child need to be potty-trained to enroll in Preschool?

Potty training is not required for entry into our younger preschool classrooms. Our teaching teams partner closely with families to support children as they become ready. For older preschool and Pre-Kindergarten classrooms, children are expected to be mostly independent with toileting, with guidance and encouragement from staff as needed.

Q: What is the age cutoff for Preschool and Pre-Kindergarten programs?

For Preschool and Pre-Kindergarten enrollment, we follow a September 1st age cutoff. Children must meet the minimum age requirement by that date in the year they are applying. This helps ensure age-appropriate groupings and successful classroom experiences.

Q: Are exceptions made for age or developmental readiness?

At this time, we are unable to make exceptions to age cutoff requirements. These guidelines allow us to maintain consistency across classrooms and meet state licensing standards.

Q: Do families need to tour the school before applying?

Yes, we strongly encourage all prospective families to schedule a tour before submitting an application. Visiting the school allows families to experience the classroom environment, meet our educators, and gain a deeper understanding of our approach to early learning.

Q: How will families be notified about enrollment decisions or availability?

Once applications are reviewed, families will be contacted directly regarding next steps, placement availability, or waitlist status. Our admissions team is always available to answer questions throughout the process.

Q: What qualities do you look for in a prospective Kindergarten student?

We welcome children who are curious, eager to learn, and ready to engage in a structured yet nurturing classroom environment. Our programs support students from all cultural and family backgrounds, valuing kindness, independence, and a positive attitude toward learning.

Q: What is the minimum age requirement for Kindergarten?

Children must be five years old by September 1st of the year they are enrolling in Kindergarten. This ensures children are developmentally ready to benefit from the academic and social expectations of the program.

Q: Is there an application fee for the Private Kindergarten program?

Yes, a non-refundable application fee is required at the time of submission. This helps support the admissions review process.

Q: Is there a deadline to apply for Kindergarten?

We encourage families to apply early, as space is limited. Applications received after the priority period may still be considered if openings are available.

Q: When should families begin the Kindergarten admission process?

Families are encouraged to begin the process in the fall of the year prior to enrollment, allowing adequate time for tours, application review, and planning.

Q: Do you accept Kindergarten applications from families new to the school?

Yes, we welcome applications from new families. When space is limited, priority may be given to children currently enrolled in our Pre-Kindergarten program.

Q: Is a school tour required before applying?

Yes, we strongly recommend scheduling a tour prior to applying. Visiting the classroom and meeting our educators helps families make informed decisions and ensures the best fit for the child.

Q: How does your Kindergarten program prepare children for first grade?

Our Kindergarten program focuses on foundational literacy, math, problem-solving, and social skills. Children develop confidence, independence, and strong learning habits that prepare them for a successful transition into elementary school.
