How enrollment works
- 01
Get in touch
Call 732-696-8699 or email mdlncorpnj@gmail.com. Tell us your child's age and the days you need. We will tell you what is open in Preschool, Primary, or Intermediate. Then we set a time for you to visit.

Tour the room
Come see the classroom your child would join. Meet the teachers who run it and watch how the room is set up. Ask about the day, the ratios, and how the first weeks work. Bring your questions and your child.

Enroll and settle in
Complete the enrollment forms and pick a start date. Plan a first week that suits your child's routine. We can start with shorter days and add time as your child settles. Ask us for the forms and handbook to get started.
What to have ready
Most families bring the enrollment forms, a health form and immunization record. Have your emergency contacts and the names of people allowed to pick up your child ready. Ask the office for the admission forms and parent handbook. They will tell you exactly what is needed.
Pack a full change of clothes in a labelled bag. Add outdoor gear for the season and anything your child needs for nap. A comfort object from home helps at rest time. Label everything with your child's name.
Before the first day, agree on who drops off and who picks up. Tell us how you want to hear about the day. Decide on a pickup time that fits your child's routine. A short first day can help everyone.
The first weeks
The first days often start short and build up. Your child may bring a familiar object from home. A teacher greets your child by name at the door. That small moment tells your child this is a safe place.
At pickup, teachers tell you what your child did, ate, and how they rested. They mention who they played with and what made them laugh. Most children settle within a few weeks. Some take longer, and that is normal.
What families ask
What about tuition?
Ask about current rates when you call or tour. They depend on your child's age and schedule.
What ages do you take?
Children from 18 Months-Pre K.
Can we visit before deciding?
Yes. A tour is how most families decide, and children are welcome to come along.
How do you handle the first weeks?
The first days often start short and build up as your child settles. A familiar object from home can help at rest time. At pickup, teachers tell you how your child ate, rested, and played.
What does a typical day include?
A day is built around arrival, play and learning, meals and rest, outdoor time, and pickup. Teachers keep the rhythm steady so children know what comes next. Our classes are purposely kept small, which helps each child get individualized attention through the day. The curriculum is progressive and innovative to keep students engaged.
How will I know how my child is doing?
Parents usually hear about the day at pickup, and teachers share more when a parent asks. Questions are always fine. If you want specifics about your child's classroom, talk with their teacher directly.
Do you offer part-time or flexible schedules?
Schedules depend on your child's age group and on what openings we have. Call and ask what is available for your child right now.
What if there is no place right now?
Families can ask us to let them know when a place opens for their child's age. We take your name and reach out when something comes up.
What should I ask on the tour?
Ask about hours, meals, pickups, and how the first weeks are handled. Ask how the day runs and what your child will do. Most of all, ask the teachers, and see whether your child settles in.
