Admissions | Little Willows Academy

The Admissions Journey

Our process is designed to ensure the right fit for both your child and your family

Step 1

Inquiry & Campus Visit
Schedule a personalized tour, meet our educators, see our spaces in action. Ask questions, observe interactions, get a feel for our community.

Step 2

Application Submission
Fill out a simple form with your child's details, developmental history, and family preferences. No entrance exam, no pressure.

Step 3

Parent-Child Interaction Session
A casual visit where your child explores our environment while we observe their interests, temperament, and social comfort. Not a test—a get-to-know-you.

Step 4

Admission Offer
If it's a mutual fit, we'll extend an offer within 3-5 days. You'll have time to review, ask follow-up questions, and decide.

Step 5

Enrollment & Orientation
Complete paperwork, attend a parent orientation, and participate in a gradual transition program so your child settles comfortably.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is your teacher-to-student ratio?

We maintain a 1:10 ratio across all programs, with additional support staff available. For our youngest learners (Playgroup), we have extra hands to ensure individual attention.

Can I visit multiple times before deciding?

Absolutely! We encourage families to visit as often as needed. You can observe different times of day, meet various teachers, and attend our parent information sessions.

What if my child has never been to school before?

Most of our Playgroup and Nursery children are first-time school-goers. We have a gradual transition program where parents can stay initially, and we slowly build independence at the child's pace.

Do you offer sibling discounts?

Yes, we offer a 10% discount on the second child's fees when multiple siblings are enrolled simultaneously.

Is there a waiting list?

Due to limited seats, we sometimes have a waitlist. We recommend applying early. Waitlisted families are contacted as soon as spots become available.

What happens if I need to withdraw mid-year?

We require 30 days' written notice. Fees are prorated for the current quarter. Please refer to our enrollment agreement for complete details.
