Questions, answered

What parents usually ask before enrolling.

If you’re choosing childcare for the first time, you don’t have to have it all figured out. Start with a tour, and we’ll walk you through the rest.

What is your teacher-to-child ratio?

Our ratios are intentionally lower than state requirements so children get more individual attention.

How do you handle allergies and special routines?

We gather detailed information before your child’s first day and keep it visible in the classroom.

What does a typical day look like?

Each age group has its own daily rhythm, but you can expect a balance of free play, guided learning centers, outdoor time, meals, naps, and cozy connection moments like stories and songs. During your tour, we’ll share a sample schedule for your child’s classroom.

Is there a waitlist? How far in advance should we enroll?

Some age groups do fill quickly, especially infants. Many families tour 1–2 months before they need care. If your ideal start date is flexible, we’ll share openings and waitlist options during your visit.
