FAQs
Q: Do you require children to be potty trained to attend?
A: No! We believe using the potty is a stage of development and should not be rushed or forced. We find that a relaxed attitude towards leaving diapers behind is the most effective.
Q: When should I put my child on the Waiting List?
A: It is never too early to join our wait list! Some families visit before their child is born.
Q: How do I get my child on the Waiting List?
A: Simply request a tour and we will contact you to schedule a visit to The Secret Garden. During your visit you will tour the facility, meet our staff and fill out a Wait List Form. You may also call Kristi at 831-688-7790.
Q: After my visit, how do I enroll my child?
A: You should check in with Kristi a few months before your desired start date and she will prepare a registration packet.
Q: How does the Waiting List work?
A: The Waiting List is organized by birth dates and order of the date the Wait List Form is filled out.
Q: Does anyone have priority on the Waiting List?
A: Siblings always have priority and residents of La Selva Beach have priority.
Q: My child is four years old. Should I even bother to get on the Waiting List?
A: YES! We try very hard to offer four year olds spaces because we believe it is so important that they have preschool to prepare for Kindergarten. We have an excellent Junior Kindergarten program.
Q: How are openings created and when do they occur?
A: Openings are generally created by children leaving to go to Kindergarten, so they mostly occur during the summer. During the school year openings sometimes happen when a family moves or their needs change.
