Registration Process: We will start accepting names for the 2023-2024 school year on April 5th at 9:00 am. To place your child's name on our registration list, please call 831-648-3135 and leave message with your name, child's name, child's date of birth, and a contact number. Names will be added to the registration list according to the time stamped date of your voicemail.

A staff member will call to confirm placement on our registration list and set up an in person preschool appointment. At your preschool appointment you will have a chance to view the classroom, observe our teachers in action, and review our curriculum, daily schedule, teaching philosophy, health and safety procedures, tuition fees, special events, and other important information. It is our goal to provide parents and guardians with all the information they need during this appointment so that they can decide if our program is the right fit for their family. We will have registration paperwork ready and parents or guardians can register their student(s) in person at the end of their appointment.

We will enroll students from our registration list until program reaches capacity. Once our program reaches capacity, names will be added to our waitlist. We call parents and guardians from this waitlist as spaces open up throughout the year. 

COVID Modifications: We follow all mandates and recommendations from the California Department of Public Health, Monterey County Health Department, and the City of Pacific Grove. Extra cleaning procedures and frequent hand washing are part of the daily routine in our preschool classroom.
