Tour Our Campus

The admissions process begins with checking program availability for your child

If a space is available, we will guide you through the pre-admissions application process. If no space is available, we will guide you through applying for a wait-list spot for your child.

If your child is selected and approved for the second phase of the admission process, you will attend a personalized facility tour with your child. Once completed, we will notify you if your child has been selected to attend one of our exclusive programs.

Preschool and VPK Options

We provide services for infants through 5 Years of age

Infants

Your child is considered an infant if they are 2 months to 12 months. There is a 3 to 1 ratio of infants to teachers in these classrooms. We provide a loving environment, always encouraging healthy habits, which, developed at an early age, tend to last a lifetime. Social and emotional needs are met promptly and in a loving way. Your child will learn about the world around him/her, with soft voices, soothing sounds and gentle touches. Toys with interesting patterns, colors and textures are provided to stimulate the senses.

These classrooms are for children 12-months to 24-months. There is a 5 to 1 ratio of children to teachers. The program promotes exploration, movement, curiosity, persistence and creativity. These are ways in which one year old's gain knowledge and skills. Teachers talk to children continuously throughout the day. We believe that every experience and interaction has an impact on development in early childhood.

One Year

Two Years

The two-year old classrooms are for children aged 24 to 36 months. There is a 10 to 1 ratio of students to teachers. Children learn through circle time, centers, outdoor adventures and creative art projects. They slowly integrate into a larger social setting, so they can acclimate to small groups. Potty-training is encouraged.

These classrooms are for children aged 36 to 48 months. Children in this age group are learning to master potty training. The teacher will be working with the children on potty training, but we also have a changing table in the younger three's classroom. The older three's classroom is for children who are fully potty trained. Social interaction is critical during this developmental stage, and there is a 15 to 1 ratio of students to teachers.

Three Years

These classrooms are for children aged 36 to 48 months. Ideally, your child should be potty-trained, but we do provide a changing table, in case there are “accidents.” Social interaction is critical during this developmental stage, and there is a 15 to 1 ratio of students to teachers.

Voluntary Pre-Kindergarten

Four to Five Years Old

Once your child reaches four years old, they are eligible for our Voluntary Pre-Kindergarten or VPK program. The Voluntary Pre-kindergarten Education Program – or VPK – is a free pre-kindergarten initiative for 4-year-olds residing in Florida and born on or before Sept. 1 each year. We offer two primary options for this program: the state-funded free program running from 9:30 AM until 12:30 PM and the all-day wrap around program.

VPK provides children an excellent opportunity to gear up for Kindergarten. Our programs focus on early literacy, social, and emotional development. With a 10 to 1 student-to-teacher ratio in the state-funded VPK, we ensure that every child gets the attention they deserve. Our qualified instructors, backed by a curriculum and assessment process set by the State of Florida, guarantee that your child is in capable hands.

Parents have the liberty to pick from a variety of program options offered by both private and public providers. These providers have the flexibility to set the daily hours and weekly days, ensuring they meet the stipulated number of instructional hours.

For a deeper insight into our VPK program and more details, please visit our VPK page. Additionally, for information about VPK in Pinellas County and the enrollment process, we recommend checking out the Pinellas County VPK Programs on their website.
