Applying to Preschool

 

Thank you for your interest in Queen Emma Preschool. 

Queen Emma Preschool is a year-round program. We do not offer preschool enrollment on a short-term basis, e.g., we do not have a preschool program just for the summer months.

We accept boys and girls 2-5 years of age.

  • Students applying for our 2s classes do not need to be potty-trained.
  • Students applying for our 3s, 4s, and 5s classes must be potty-trained* when scheduling the parent interview for admission consideration.


*Children applying for 3s, 4s, and 5s classes must meet the following definition of “potty-trained” before being considered for admission:

1. No diapers or pull-ups during the day. The child must wear underwear at school every day.
2. The child stays dry during naptime, wearing underwear (no diapers or pull-ups).
3. The child must be able to verbalize the need to go to the restroom using the appropriate words.

Updated 6/3/26: We are only accepting preschool applications for the 26-27 school year if families are interested in being waitlisted.

Applications for the 27-28 school year will be available on September 1, 2026.
