1. Complete and submit a Student Application with a non-refundable application fee of KShs 5,000 per child; the application and fee must be submitted before the school undertakes the initial assessment of the child. 2. Final admission and placement depend on space availability and the school's ability to provide the education and support required for the individual child; the decision is made by the teachers. 3. With increasing interest in Waldorf education, requests for placement exceed space, particularly in the Kindergartens, so interviews with parents/guardians of those requesting placement are conducted. 4. Broad criteria for admission: Kindergarten accepts children from eighteen months, with groups including toddler (18 months–2.5 years), playgroup (2.5–4 years), and kindergarten (4–6 years). Reception Group is for children in their last year of Kindergarten, focusing on developing pre-learning skills with teacher support to enter Primary School.

If a child turns six after 30 November, an assessment may be carried out following consultation; if readiness is shown, admission may be granted.
