Welcome Back Families!!

2025-2026

Enrollment Information

Our 2025/26 school year will run from September 8, 2025 - June 12, 2026. We will loosely follow the NYC DOE calendar, with breaks in December, February, and April.

Our first week of school in September 2024 will consist of a phase in period, offering shorter classes and smaller groups for all children, with an adult/caregiver welcome to support separation and building comfort in our new environment.

Class Sizes:

  • 2s (10-12 kids) *Must be two by September 8, 2025

  • 3s (capped at 12 kids) *Must be three by December 31, 2025

  • 4/5s (capped at 12 kids) *Must be four by December 31, 2025

Please note:

  • Children must be two years of age to begin attending Wonderforest. For those families who have children who will turn two by October 1, 2025, they may apply, but their child may not attend classes until they are officially two years old. Families will still be responsible for the full year of tuition to hold the place for their child, until the child can officially begin.

  • There is a possibility of mixed age classes (i.e older 3s and younger 4s together). This is dependent upon a variety of factors, including the number of families enrolled, the ages of the children enrolled, and group dynamic.

  • An updated health form and immunizations are required for all children to attend Wonderforest.

Tuition: Please see Tuition page (HERE) for details regarding Standard Day, Early Bird, and Extended Day rates

Re-Enrolling for 2025-2026

  • Families must complete the enrollment request form found on the bottom of this page. It must be received no later than Friday, December 20, 2024 for prioritized enrollment. 

  • Once the enrollment request is received, families will be sent the 2025-2026 tuition agreement noting the annual tuition obligation, as well as an invoice to submit the registration fee and 10% deposit. Both must be completed within 7 days of receipt to officially secure their child’s place for 2025-2026.

  • Completing the Tuition Agreement and submitting the deposit will officially secure a child’s place for the 2025/26 school year, as well as commit their family to the full tuition due for the 2025-2026 school year.

Additional Notes:

  • Incoming siblings of current families will also receive prioritized enrollment. If enrolling more than one child, please fill out an application for each.

  • For those families that receive tuition assistance for 24/25 and are interested in 25/26 enrollment, we will send out further information shortly. 

  • We understand that some families may not be able to commit by the December 20, 2024 deadline.  Please note, applications that are received after December 20, 2024 are not guaranteed placement and will be reviewed based upon availability.

Thank you!
