Calendar:
Will mostly follow the Lamoille County school calendar.  The major breaks are the same however we will not have the exact same in-service schedule or first and last days of school.  See "Calendar" page for details. 


Inquire for the current cost of tuition. We also accept Child Care Financial Assistance Program payments.



Enrollment Process:


Please contact us for an enrollment packet that includes the following:

*Detailed tuition form and agreement

*Enrollment Application

*Emergency Forms

Once you send in an application, we will schedule a time for you to visit to come out and see our school and property. 

Ask to get on our waiting list at any time. Every year in winter current families are asked to pick their days for the following school year. We usually know by late winter/early spring what spots we have for fall school year enrollment.

Please see our "Summer Camp" page for details on our summer schedule and enrollment process.
