Registration is now open for the 2026/2027 School Year. I know that Fall 2026 seems a very long way away but, for the past two years, families have started to register as early as 18 months before their child’s classes with us would begin. Some spots have already been filled.

If you want to cancel your registration after February 1, 2026 we will only issue a refund if you are able to find another family to take your child’s spot in the class.
Any refund issued will be minus the 3% credit card processing fee charged by our credit card processing company when tuition is paid.
Once the school year starts, we don’t offer a refund if you have to withdraw your child from the program during the school year.
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.
