Does your child need to be potty trained?
Your child does not need to be potty trained in order to join the classes. However, we do require that children wear pull-ups in class while they are potty training. We do ask that you notify us when you are planning to potty train your child so that we don’t have a number of students in the process of potty training at the same time.
Immunization Requirements
We do require our students to be up-to-date with the immunizations required by the New Jersey Department of Health. Please click here for a list of the immunizations required.
