School Tours
2025-2026 School Year tours have ended. If considering enrollment during June – August, please submit an enrollment request.
2026-2027 School Year begins in November 2025 with dates posted later in the fall.
School tours are a great opportunity to see the school, hear more about the school offerings from the director and get specific questions answered related to your child or family’s needs.
November through June
We offer them on select dates after school at 4:30 and Saturdays at 9am. They only occur if someone is registered 72 hours or more in advance otherwise, it is canceled.
We do not have tours when students and teachers are in classrooms for health and safety reasons.
No, tours start promptly at the time noted, as there can be up to 8 families at a time.
We ask that you do not come more than 5 minutes early as we may be setting up or waiting for the last students to be picked up.
No, we ask that you wait until your child is at least age 3 years before touring with us.
No, we do not offer prospective student tours for our summer program.
Bringing your child is up to each family.
Tours are a lot of talking about the program and answering parent questions. We do not have a student interview or student specific experiences set up for the tour. We try to end the tour on the playground for students that have joined us to play before heading home.
No, the tours are run by the school director and assistant director. You can learn about our teachers by clicking this link
Sure, sign up for as many as you’d like. They are the same format each session.
Please locate your Calendly confirmation email and cancel or reschedule your appointment at anytime!
Directions to the School and School Parking Lot:
The best option is to use Google Maps as we have a “pin” for the school. Just search our school name and you should be all set.
General guidance: When you arrive at Heritage Museums & Gardens, do not turn into the main parking lot. Continue driving forward and bear to the left onto a town-owned dirt road at the fork. Take your second paved left down the hill into the school’s parking lot. You will see a sign for the school at the entrance.
You might feel like you are on the dirt road for a while. Here are some landmarks to know you are going the right way:
- You will drive past the aerial adventure park (on the right)
- You will drive past the Heritage Maintenance Building (on the right)
Please note – The town owns the dirt road and its condition is not something we can control. Sandwich DPW: 508-833-8002
