TOURS

Site Tour: On this tour parents will experience the facilities and classroom structure at each site. These tours last for one hour and are for parents only.

Small Group Interview: During this session, you will be invited to observe in a classroom of your child’s age at entry. We then meet as a group with 2-3 other parents to discuss your observations and answer any questions you have. This tour lasts for one hour and is for parents only.

For families with two or more parents, we understand it may be difficult for everyone to attend both the Site Tour and Small Group Interview. The Small Group Interview is the more in depth discussion and we would like to meet all parents for this visit if possible. Please consult the admissions calendar after submitting your application to schedule your visits.

***Please note WMS does not interview children; all visits are for parents only.
