Before your tour

Think about the days and hours you need, your preferred start date, and the routines that matter to your child. Bring questions about learning, rest, communication, tuition, and how enrollment works.

Book a Tour

Share what makes your child comfortable.

Tell us about familiar feeding and rest routines, favourite activities, and what helps your child settle. Discuss any individual care needs directly with the academy so we can explain how they would be handled.

Registration forms and required documentation are completed in person after your tour. The academy will explain what to bring and discuss tuition, fees, and availability before you move forward.

Enrollment & Registration

Plan the first days.

Ask the academy to confirm arrival and collection arrangements, what to pack, and how to access your parent account. Agree the details with us so your family knows what to expect when care begins.
