Preschool Enrollment

Enrolling at Wind in the Willows starts with a conversation, not a stack of paperwork. We want to learn about your child and your family, and we want you to see what a day at our school actually looks and feels like. There is no application deadline and no rush. We accept families year-round as openings become available.

How Enrollment Works

Step 1:
Apply and Schedule a Tour

Complete the preschool application and schedule a tour of the school. Come visit during a regular school day, walk through the classrooms, see the outdoor spaces, and talk with our director.
Preschool Application

Step 2:
Your Child Visits

We invite your child to spend time at the school so we can all see if it is a good fit. Children settle in at their own pace, and our teachers are experienced at making new visitors feel welcome and comfortable.

Step 3:
Secure Your Spot

A non-refundable $250 enrollment deposit confirms your child’s place for the upcoming school year. This deposit is credited to your account in February.
That is it. No entrance exams, no essays, no waitlist anxiety. Just a visit, a conversation, and a warm welcome.
