We are so pleased that you are considering The Center for Early Education for your child and family.
At The Center, our mission guides everything that we do. We work to ultimately graduate students who are joyful, resilient, life-long learners and we never forget about the importance of each day of this wonderful journey! Our philosophy combines a nurturing, inclusive learning environment with an increasingly challenging academic program that addresses the developmental needs of each child. We cannot wait to get to know your family and introduce you to our program and community.
Embarking on an admissions process is an important milestone. We know that families experience this process in many different ways. As parents, while you research, think and write about your child, consider your family’s values, create spreadsheets, explore websites, talk with friends and teachers, map out distances, examine viewbooks, and attend events, we know that you are dreaming about your child’s future, next year and far down the road. My hope is that you're finding a school and a community that you admire, trust, love, and are excited at the prospect of partnering with in raising your child. Our team is looking forward to being by your side in this process.

We intend to offer applicants to the 2023-24 school year the opportunity to spend time on our campus and in our CEE community in person. As we approach event dates, we will be sure to share current requirements to visit campus with applicant families.
Our admissions process is outlined here and will be updated with details as they are available.
Our comprehensive admissions viewbook will be emailed to all applicants. In the meantime, we invite you to explore our website to learn more about The Center’s program, philosophy, community, and admissions process and to call or email us at any time with questions.
We look forward to getting to know and partner with your family over the coming year!
