A bit about our program…

West End Village School is a year-round, full-day preschool program, opening daily for drop-off at 8:30am, and ending at 4:30pm. To allow for professional development and weekly staff meetings, Fridays are an early release day, with pick-up at 1pm.

Our program is currently designed for preschool aged children, approximately 3-5 years old. Children are eligible to enroll around the time that they turn 3 years old, however, most of our openings occur in either July, at the start of our summer session, or in September with the start of our school year.

Our Enrollment Process

How we do enrollment…

We have a rolling admissions process and invite new families to enroll with us as spots become available. Our regular enrollment season begins in mid-January when our current families receive their re-enrollment forms. Once we know who is returning for the following school year, and who is staying through summer, we will go down the waiting list and begin inviting folks to enroll with us until all spots are full. Occasionally, we will have mid-year openings and will invite families in off the waiting list to enroll with us as spots become available, but most enrollment invitations are for either a July or September start.

Enrollment invitations are sent out to families based on the spots we have available and the date waitlist fees were received. We practice inclusivity and so all families are welcome to join our waiting list and have a fair chance at joining our school community. We only ask that you visit our program before enrolling, to meet with our directors and ensure that our program is a good fit and can properly support your child in their educational journey.

At this time, tours are currently reserved for families on our waiting list, as enrollment invites are offered. We do not have the capacity to offer tours to folks prior to receiving an enrollment invitation, but are working to schedule opportunities to explore our classroom through twice yearly Open House events.
