Student eligibility Village Green admits students on a nondiscriminatory basis, without regard to sex, race, color, religion, or national origin. Parents/guardians are required to tour the School before applying. Admissions and registration For currently enrolled Village Green students, re-admission for the upcoming fall starts immediately after January conferences. New families interested in admission are asked to make an appointment for a tour of the School. For this initial tour, parents should come without their child. New student applications are accepted after completing the tour. In early February, new families who have submitted an application will be invited to visit an individual class or come in for a group play date. After your child’s school visit, we will begin processing new student applications. Notifications of acceptance and placement for returning students are mailed out the first week in March. New families who miss the play date may arrange for a visit for their child by calling for an appointment in early April. General Placement Village Green's careful placement into programs gives students an opportunity to develop in an environment best suited to their particular needs and personality. Special placement requests should be made at the time of application and may be accommodated after careful consideration. Kindergarten Placement and Screening Parents who are interested in enrolling their child in our Kindergarten Program should complete an application and schedule request and provide background materials and test results from any prior school experience. The Head of School is responsible for final placement. Village Green's general policy is to place children in our kindergarten class based on their developmental or behavioral age as well as their chronological age. This point of view requires that we view children as total beings. The physical, social, emotional, and intellectual aspects of development depend on and support each other. To determine a child’s appropriate placement, Village Green Day School may administer a Gesell Institute Preschool Test of Developmental Readiness. The School will contact the parents of any child whose test results indicate a need for further testing. Students who require remedial help with developmental skills may receive extra help in kindergarten class or they may be counseled into our Junior Kindergarten Program. Kindergarten students are given the Metropolitan Readiness Test in the spring prior to first grade.
