2025-2026 School Year Enrollment*

Spots still available for our 2s, 3s, and 4s groups! More details and application can be found below.

Our 2025/26 school year will run from September 8, 2025 - June 12, 2026. We will loosely follow the NYC DOE calendar, with breaks in December, February, and April.

Our first week of school in September 2025 will consist of a phase in period, offering shorter classes and smaller groups, with an adult/caregiver welcome to support separation and building comfort in our new environment.

Class Sizes: 

  • 2s (10-12 kids) *Must be two by September 8, 2025

  • 3s (capped at 12 kids) *Must be three by December 31, 2025

  • 4/5s (capped at 12 kids) *Must be four by December 31, 2025

Please note:

Children must be two years of age to begin attending Wonderforest. For those families who have children who will turn two by October 1, 2025, they may apply, but their child may not attend classes until they are officially two years old. Families will still be responsible for the full year of tuition to hold the place for their child, until the child can officially begin.

There is a possibility of mixed age classes (i.e older 3s and younger 4s together). This is dependent upon a variety of factors, including the number of families enrolled, the ages of the children enrolled, and group dynamic.

An updated health form and immunizations are required for all children to attend Wonderforest.
