Admissions
Your child must be 2½ years old by November 1 to enroll in our youngest class (Butterflies). If space permits, children turning 2½ in early 2024 may enroll for a mid-year start.
School visits are an excellent opportunity to see our beautiful facility, meet staff, observe our classrooms in action, and ask questions. We encourage all parents to schedule a tour with their prospective student(s). To schedule a visit, please contact our office at (703) 356-1351 or request a tour below.
The application process for current students, siblings, Immanuel Presbyterian Church members, and in-class speech and language students begins in January for the next school year. Applications are considered by the date they were requested.
Children currently receiving speech and language therapy services are accepted into the program in one of the two or three speech/language support slots reserved in each class. Please submit current professional reports with the application. A meeting with your child will be conducted with Sue Lyons, the Director of Speech and Language Services, prior to admittance.
Families will be notified (by phone or mail) upon acceptance. Once placement is offered and accepted, a non-refundable $125 registration fee per family is required.
