Gifted Minds

Now Accepting Applications!

 

Prospective families are invited to visit our home learning environment where Kaila J. Gordon, our Director, will highlight our philosophy and show samples of the children's work. Because we are dedicated to focusing our full attention to the children, we do not offer visits during school hours. Your child is also welcome to join you for an interactive visit of our school. Please contact our Director, Kaila J. Gordon to schedule a visit.

 

You will have opportunities to ask questions, please feel free to come prepared with a list.

If you cannot attend a scheduled visit, please kindly give us at least 24 hour notice.

The school year runs year-round from August through May.  During the summer months (June and July) we are open based on enrollment. The school is open from 7:00 am – 5:30 pm, Monday through Friday except for scheduled school closings or emergencies, as noted on the school calendar.  The school accepts students from 2 to 5 years of age. There are exceptions in which a child may be accepted who is under 2 years of age, however that is at the discretion of our Director. In addition, the monthly tuition will reflect a higher rate.

 

All families must sign an Enrollment & Acknowledgment Agreement, which will outline their responsibilities to the school and the school’s responsibilities to the family. All admission and enrollment forms must be completed and accounts must be current prior to your child’s first day of attendance and/or the first day of the new school year. These forms include:

 

Required by the State

• FDCH Parent Handbook

• No Liability Signature Form

• Current Immunization Record (Form 3231 for all children under 4 yrs. old)

• Authorization to Dispense Medication

• Authorization to Dispense External Preparations

 

Required by Gifted Minds

• Gifted Minds Family Handbook Acknowledgement Form

• Enrollment and Acknowledgement Agreement

• "All About Me" Form

Currently enrolled children and their siblings will have first priority for available spots. New families needing 5-day care will have priority for any additional spots available. Part-time spots will be filled from the wait list should they become available.

 

The school retains the right to make decisions regarding enrollment and classroom makeup and placement based on the needs of individual children and/or the Gifted Minds community at large.

 

WAITLIST 

We’re a small school and fill easily.  When we are full, a waitlist holds a child’s place should there be an opening.  Special priority is given, however, families with siblings enrolled in the school, single parents and children with special rights.
