When you're ready to take the next step, schedule a virtual visit (due to COVID-19), and we will answer all of your questions! See our 40 acre campus and the school day in action.

SCHEDULE A VIRTUAL TOUR

EARLY CHILDHOOD
(6 weeks - 2 years and 11 months old)

Virtual tours for our Infant and Toddler program take place with a small group of families at a time. We keep the number of participants low for each tour to ensure quality time can be spent answering each family's questions well. Each tour lasts approximately 1.5 hours to include time for questions at the end.
