Enrollment, step by step
We keep it simple: tour, apply, register. A few forms, a friendly visit — and your child has a place to learn and grow.
2026–2027 School Year
Three easy steps to a great start
Schedule a tour
Visit us, meet the teachers, and see the rooms. Book a tour during the school day — that's when you'll see the real St. Thomas Kids.
Apply
Fill out the Application & Tuition Form and bring in the Enrollment Packet. We'll confirm your child's spot and start date.
Register
Before the first day: emergency contact, health forms and media release (below). We'll walk you through everything — it's easier in person!
Step wording is sample copy — Director will confirm exact enrollment requirements.

Common Questions
Answers for new families
What ages do you accept?
We serve infants, toddlers, and preschoolers (through Pre-K). Exact age ranges are confirmed in the tuition form and during your tour.
Can I visit before deciding?
Absolutely — it's encouraged. Schedule a tour and see a full school-day morning in action.
Is there a waiting list?
Some rooms fill early, especially infants and Pre-K. Applying early (step 2) locks in your planning; we'll tell you right away if a room has a wait.
Do you follow a school-calendar schedule?
Yes — we follow the school year for preschool programming, and full family details are included in the Family Handbook.
How will I stay up to date during the day?
Every classroom shares updates, photos and messages through ClassDojo, our family communication app.
FAQ answers are sample copy for review — final wording by Director.
