It's best to ask — circumstances can change at any time.
Preschool Admissions Process:
1. Register for the Information Session to learn about our pedagogical proposal. The session introduces families to CIEDI's preschool program and what to expect in the early years. It explains how the school supports holistic development for young learners. The Information Session is the first step in the admissions process.
2. Pay the application form and complete it online. The form payment is required to proceed with the application. Ensure the form is fully completed before moving to the next step. Payment is part of the application workflow.
3. Schedule the student's immersion day and the parents' interview. The immersion day lets the student experience the classroom environment; the parents' interview provides an opportunity for the school to learn about the family context and child needs. Both steps are designed to help the school understand the applicant better.
4. Schedule the feedback on the admissions process. Feedback is scheduled after the immersion and interview to review observations and outline next steps. This feedback informs whether a seat is offered.
