How enrollment works

Get in touch

Call 609-261-1043 or email my2ndhomecnc@yahoo.com. Tell us your child's age and the days you need. We will talk through what you are looking for and what we can offer, then set a time for you to visit. You can ask about hours, pricing, and openings when we speak.

Tour the room

Come see the classroom your child would join and meet the teachers who run it. Walk through the room, watch how the day moves, and ask anything on your mind. Bring your child along so you can see how they take to the space and the people in it. After the visit, you will know whether this feels like the right fit for your family.

Enroll and settle in

Once you enroll, we plan a first week that suits your child's routine. You will fill out the forms, share your child's schedule and habits, and decide together how to start. Teachers will be ready to greet your child by name on day one. Settling in takes a little time, and we will check in with you about how it is going.

What to have ready

Most families get the paperwork together before the first day. You will need enrollment forms, a health form and immunization record, emergency contacts, and the names of people allowed to pick up your child. Your child's doctor can fill out the health form. If you have questions about what is required, ask us and we will walk you through it.

Pack a full change of clothes in your child's bag, plus outdoor gear for the season. Nap items matter too if your child rests here: a small blanket, a sheet, whatever helps them sleep. A comfort object from home can make the first days easier. Label everything with your child's name so nothing goes missing.

Before the first day, decide who does drop-off and who picks up, and make sure those names are on file. Talk with your child about what the morning will look like. Think about how you want to hear about the day. At pickup, teachers can tell you how your child ate, slept, played, and got along with others.

The first weeks

The first days often go best when they are shorter. Your child gets a feel for the room, the teachers, and the rhythm without a long stretch away from you. A familiar object from home can help: a small toy, a blanket, a stuffed animal. A teacher greeting your child by name each morning goes a long way toward making the room feel known.

At pickup, teachers tell you how the day went. They will share what your child ate, how they slept, what they played, and how they settled. If your child had a hard moment, you will hear about it too, along with what helped. Most children find their footing in a few weeks, but every child moves at their own pace.

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 0-8 years old.

Can we visit before deciding?

Yes, come see the rooms and meet the teachers. Your child can walk through the space with you, touch the toys, and get a feel for the day while you ask questions and watch how the classroom runs.

What should my child bring on the first day?

Most families pack a change of clothes, a comfort object, and anything needed for naps or outdoor time. Label everything with your child's name. If you are unsure what your child's room needs, just ask.

How do you handle the first weeks?

Children usually start with shorter days and build up from there. A familiar object from home can help bridge the drop-off. At pickup, teachers will tell you how your child ate, slept, played, and settled.

What does a typical day include?

The day is built around arrival, play and learning, meals and rest, outdoor time, and pickup. Children move between English and Spanish throughout their daily experiences. We keep our classrooms smaller than our licensed capacity so each child gets attention. You can ask for a sample schedule for your child's age group.

How will I know how my child is doing?

Teachers talk with you at pickup about how the day went. You can ask about meals, naps, play, and how your child got along with others. If anything comes up during the day, we will reach out to you.

Do you offer part-time or flexible schedules?

Schedules depend on your child's age group and what openings we have. Call or email and we will tell you what is available for your child.

What if there is no place right now?

If there is no place right now, you can ask to be contacted when one opens for your child's age. We will let you know as soon as we can.

What should I ask on the tour?

Ask about hours, meals, and who can pick up your child. Ask how the first weeks are handled and what teachers tell you at pickup. And ask how the day runs for your child's age group, so you know what to expect.
