5.) Inform Emerald Heart that the 4 actions above are completed and schedule an in-person visit.  Email our director: taira@emeraldheartkids.com

6.) Visit Emerald Heart Forest School with your child.
This visit is for you to see our forest school, to meet teachers and to experience us in action. If you are enrolling for a date in the near future, your visit will give our director an opportunity to gently access the readiness of your child. 

A visit to explore readiness is now required for all children. If you are applying for a semester in the distant future, you will be asked to visit with your child closer to your intended start date.

Some parents prefer to visit us before they apply--as a way of determining if we are a good fit for their child. This is welcomed. Please note, though, that a spot will not be saved for your child until we receive all forms and your application fee.

When all application steps are complete and if you and our director feel 'it's a good fit,' we will place your child on our waiting list and contact you as soon as possible. 

If you have any questions about our Application Process, feel free to email our director

Thank you for your interest in Emerald Heart! We look forward to hearing from you.
