Is there an entrance test?

At the Toddler/Casa level, both the child and parents/guardians would meet with the Director of Admissions Toddler/Casa. Prior to acceptance at the Elementary level, a meeting with the Principal, Brenda Glashan, is required as well as an entrance test (level 3 and up). We look forward to meeting your family and discussing how our enriched, unique environment develops responsible, enthusiastic life-long learners.

4)	How do I know if my child is ready for the Casa Program?
	A child between the age of 2 ½ and 3 should be ready for the academic stimulation and social environment of our 3 year Casa Program. Physically, the child would have to be self-sufficient with their toileting needs and, if staying for the full day program, be able to go without having an afternoon nap.

5)	How can I communicate with my child’s teacher if I have questions?
	There are Parent/Teacher interviews formally set twice a year. Progress reports are sent home twice a year in the Toddler/ Casa level and three times a year in the Elementary level. All teachers have voicemail and you can certainly send an Email to the school at info@insideams.net and your message will be forwarded to the teacher.
