Children who are three years of age by December 2, 2008 may begin the school year on August 18, 2008.  Children who will be three after December 2, 2008 may begin school on their third birthday.   In our Transitional Kindergarten class children must be five years of age by December 2, 2008.  We accept children through five years of age who are not enrolled in Kindergarten.  Children must be ambulatory, in good health, potty trained and independent in the bathroom. The needs of each child will be assessed on an individual basis giving consideration to the child, the other students and staff.  Prior to admission, a family interview is required in order to determine if the school is capable of meeting the child’s needs and to ensure the school’s purpose, philosophy and policies are understood by the family.  The Director determines class assignments.
