Step 1: APPLICATION AND FEE

Still accepting applications for the 2024-2025 school year!

The applications for the 2025-2026 school year will opened in September 2024. A non-refundable application fee of $85 is due upon submission. Although we continue to accept applications throughout the year, the December 15 deadline provides applicants with the best possible chance of admission and financial aid considerations. This timeline is suggested to help maximize your chance for enrollment given our small class sizes and limited availability.

Step 2: FAMILY MEETING

After you apply online and submit an application fee, you will be contacted by an admissions representative to set up your Family Meeting. This will be an individual meeting for PARENTS ONLY. Both parents, if applicable, are encouraged to attend.

Step 3: GETTING TO KNOW YOUR CHILD

  • Parent reflections
  • Recommendation form, if your child is attending another preschool

FAQs

Your child must be 2.9 by August 31.

Separation anxiety is common in preschool, and we fully understand that it can be challenging for both the children and parents. In order to make the separation process easier and for the child to acclimate to their new environment, we have come up with a schedule that will accommodate children at the beginning of the school year. However, if your child needs extra time during the separation process, we will modify it on an individual basis. We respect the pace of each individual child, and our teachers are caring and patient during this phase-in process. Teachers will also work closely with the caretakers to ensure a smooth transition.

Our school classes have a maximum of 12 students with 2 teachers, and a third floater teacher is also present when a class needs extra support.

National studies have shown that children in dual-language programs, as a group, perform the same or better than their monolingual English speaking peers in achievement tests in math, reading, and writing.

You do not need to speak Spanish to be supportive of your child’s learning. Attending our parents’ workshops and reaching out to your child’s teacher via email for further clarification are all useful venues for support. Classroom newsletters and weekly updates give helpful background information about students’ day-to-day activities at school.

Maryel School celebrates diversity as part of its mission. Therefore, it may be surprising to hear that most of our Spanish language learners come from English-speaking households.
