No. While we find meeting our applicants valuable and enjoyable, our tours are designed for parents-only. School visits include a tour of our 4+ acres and 9 playgrounds, our many classrooms, and a time to sit and discuss our programs and curriculum which takes about 45 minutes. As our environment is designed for young children, it is challenging for them to easily motor through playgrounds and classrooms that are so inviting to them. We appreciate your cooperation.
