First Steps accepts student applications year-round, on a space-available basis. We have full-time or part-time enrolments possible, and accept children to our preschool programme from 2 years old, or to our Wednesday English Club programme from 4 years old. All children accepted our our Wednesday English Club should already have some current fluency in English.

We also have an open-house for each of our programmes prior to the start of each new school year, welcoming local families interested in a placement for their child for the upcoming school year. Please let us know if you are interested in attending for the upcoming school year.

A non-refundable application fee is due at the time of application. Please see our “Fees” page for more information. Payment for school fees are paid twice per year. The payment for the first semester is due by June 15, and the second semester payment is due January 15.

Your child need not be potty-trained prior to joining First Steps, and we can accommodate allergies or other special situations.

We endeavour to post our school calendar online and keep it current, however we also ensure that all parents receive a calendar of all school holidays at the beginning of the school year (or upon enrolment).
