Any families interested in learning more about Small Friends should contact our Registrar to get on our waitlist. Once on our waitlist, you will be invited to attend our Information Night. Enrollment for the upcoming school year begins immediately following Information Night and is based on your child’s position on that list. (Being on the waitlist does not obligate you to enroll or pay any fees.)These parent-only evenings include a presentation of our curriculum and an opportunity to visit classrooms and meet our staff. Opportunities for children to visit the classrooms are provided each spring.

Classroom observations are permitted for parents who have attended our Information Night. Please contact our Registrar for details.
