Visiting Us

Welcome future Mayapplings! Come— play, learn, adventure, and make your first friends. The birds are calling and we are waiting for you!

We recommend visiting no earlier than one year prior to the start of enrollment.

In-Person Tours

Ask as many questions as you like during this 40 minute indoor and outdoor tour with a knowledgeable Mayapple School educator. Families welcome.

Tag-a-long Mornings

Future preschoolers and their adults are invited to come join us for a morning starting at 9 am, for up to 3 hours. During this visit, you and your child will immerse yourselves in our daily activities so you can make an informed choice about joining us for the following school year. Connect with educators during a follow up phone call or by email to answer your questions.

Virtual Tours & Conversations

Relocating and can’t make it in person? Zoom or Google Meet with us for a virtual tour of the classroom and an opportunity to chat with a Mayapple School educator.
