TUITION
The school operates on a fee-paying basis. Tuition can be paid monthly or semi-annually. A registration fee must accompany an application for enrollment. The registration fee is not refundable but is applied to tuition upon the child's acceptance into the program. There is a small discount for two children from the same family attending classes at the same time.
There are no additional fees for supplies or activities over and above the tuition. LMS does not engage in fund-raising activities.
APPLICATION PROCEDURE
Parents of children between the ages of 2.5 and 3.9 years are invited to make application for their children. Families are encouraged to call and make an appointment to visit the school with their children prior to enrolling or click here to send us an email.
Once an application and registration fee have been received, an applicant interview is scheduled.
Parents of children under 2.5 years of age may pre-register their children by mailing in the pre-registration application. Once having done so families are entered on the mailing list and will receive invitations to school related events, meetings and parent programs.
