Application Process

Children applying must be 3 years old on or before September 1st of the school year they wish to attend. Children turning 6 years of age are only eligible to attend if they turn 6 after the cutoff date for MUSD (usually September 1 or 2.)

  • Learn more about our program to see if our style of education is a good fit for your family’s needs! You can find the answers to almost every question on our Early Childhood page. You can also download our information sheet here.

    We cannot offer a tour before you request enrollment, but we prepared a detailed virtual tour of our classrooms here!

  • Submit your Enrollment Request for June Summer Camps here.

    We will begin enrolling for the 2025-26 school year by May 30. Check back here for the link!

    Once completed, you will receive an automated email that includes a link to schedule a video interview.

  • After attending a PPM, we will schedule a 45-minute interview via video chat.

    Interviews are a chance for our staff to learn more about your family’s interest in our program and your needs for the upcoming school year. We are looking to learn more about your child’s interests, areas of strength, and areas where they or you are experiencing challenges or friction. We’re also excited to hear about why you’d like to work with us!

    Interviews are NOT a test, they are an opportunity for your family and our staff to determine if we’re a good fit, and to make space for all your questions.

  • If you are accepted into our program, the last step is for us to meet in-person at the classroom to:

    • Review the contract and handbook

    • Complete your child’s enrollment forms

    • Schedule your volunteer shifts for the school year

We know it can be hard to find time to research programs when you’re parenting young children. For ease, we have thoughtfully answered all of the most frequently-asked questions about scholarships, schedules, our approach to learning, and other essential info on our Early Childhood Program page.
