2012 Open House Events

Are you interested in experiencing what the next program level looks like? We will guide you through this process in a brand new way. In lieu of multiple classroom observations and in order to minimize classroom disruption we have changed our pre-enrollment observation policy. Instead of visiting every classroom, we encourage you to participate in the following events which offer more guidance and an opportunity for your questions to be answered.    
 
We are excited to introduce a complete new look to our Open House and Winter School Information Night.  
We envision the Open House and Winter Information Night to be very lively and interesting for parents, as well as a fantastic venue to show case what our teachers do so beautifully with the children everyday.
