Age Requirement

We accept children in the drop-off program from 2 years old, whether or not they are toilet-trained. They do not need to be 2 by Sept; they are eligible to start at any point during the year, once they are 2 years old. For children younger than 2 (or children up to 2 1/2 not yet ready for a drop-off program), please see our Baby/Parent Program.  We do have rolling admissions, which means that we take children at any point during the year, if an appropriate space is available.
 
Group Size

There is a maximum of 14 children per group, usually 12, with a child:staff ratio of at least 6:1 and very often 4:1 or even 3:1.
