Beginning Your Journey With Us
We welcome families into a thoughtful and supportive admissions journey designed to feel simple, personal, and reassuring from the very first step. Choosing the right early learning environment is an important decision, and we are here to guide you with care and clarity. Our year-round enrollment process ensures each child transitions smoothly into our community with the right timing and support.
We encourage families to reach out early due to limited availability and our intentional enrollment process. Our team is here to support you every step of the way as you begin this important journey.
The Process
Six Gentle Steps
We guide families through a thoughtful admissions journey designed to feel simple, supportive, and personal from enquiry to enrollment, ensuring clarity at every step.
01. Make an Enquiry
Reach out by phone, email, or the form below. Share a little about your little one and what you're looking for, and we'll be delighted to connect with you!
02. Visit & Tour
Come and see us in action. Walk the rooms, meet our educators, and watch a real morning unfold. This is the moment most families simply know.
03. Submit Application
Once you've found the right fit, complete a short application for your chosen center and program. We'll guide you through every field.
04. Home Visit
Two of our educators visit your child at home for a gentle 45-minute session — stories with puppets, a little tea party, imaginative play. They're getting to know your child; your child is quietly getting to know them.
05. Settling Inour
A guardian remains on school premises during the initial settling phase, so your child always knows safety is close. This gradual, research-backed approach ensures every child feels secure and emotionally ready.
06. Welcome Home
Your little one begins their journey. We stay in close partnership with you through daily updates, regular check-ins, and an always-open door.
Our Transition Approach
A Beginning Built On Trust
Before your little one begins with us, two of our educators conduct a home visit — spending approximately 45 minutes in the comfort of your child's familiar environment. Rather than a formal assessment, it's a gentle playdate: reading stories with puppets, imaginative play with tea sets, and other age-appropriate experiences woven naturally into the visit.
This allows us to begin building trust, understanding, and a meaningful connection with both the child and their family—long before the first day of school.
Once your child is ready to transition into school, we follow a carefully designed settling-in process where a guardian is required to be present within the school premises during the initial phase. Rooted in research and best practices in early childhood development, this approach ensures that every child feels secure, supported, and emotionally safe as they take their first steps into a new environment.
Year-Round Admissions
We're Open All Year
APS is a year-round school, thoughtfully structured to support each child's smooth and gentle transition into their learning journey. There is no single annual intake — children can begin when they and their family are ready.
Waiting List
Places Fill Quickly
Because of this intentional and gradual transition system, we operate with a waiting list. Families often register months in advance to secure a place. We warmly invite you to get in touch early.
