How to enroll

01
Step 1: Get in touch
Call, text or write. We answer within a day or two and tell you about the next open house.
02
Step 2: Book a tour
Tours are on weekday mornings, so you see the room working. Children can come along, and you can ask Opal anything, including how pre-K works.
03
Step 3: Apply
A short application. Families using Vermont's pre-K program also fill in the state's form in March, and we sit down with you for it.
04
Step 4: Hear from us
Offers go out in April. If a room is full, you join the waitlist and we write as places open.
05
Step 5: Register
Accept the place with the school, and we ask privately for the forms we need. Nothing medical goes through this website.
06
Step 6: The first day
New families come in for a short visit in August. On the first day in September, a guide meets your child at the door.
