Children spend time engaging in fun and age-appropriate activities that help our teachers get to know your child and where they are in their learning and developmental journey. Parents stay on campus during the playdate and have a chance to connect with current parents and school leadership. Playdates take place in early February.

Visiting students are paired up with a buddy and join their current grade-level peers in the classroom for a day of fun, learning, and friendship.

Visiting days take place in January and February.
