What families ask us

We care for children from age 2 to 5. The twos room and the studio room run a half day from 8:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m., and a school day to 3:00 p.m. The twos room also has three mornings a week.

A tour takes about an hour on a weekday morning, while the rooms are working. You see the twos room, the studio room and the atelier, and you are welcome to bring your child.

Your child's room and age and the schedule you choose. We print no figures on the site; the enrollment page and the tour show them. How tuition works explains the rest.

An enrollment form and a deposit hold a place. When a room is full, families join a waitlist by room and schedule, and we offer places in the order families joined.

Yes. Teasel is a licensed child care center. The license, the agency and the adults for each age group are on the safety page, and the license line is in the footer of every page.

We ask your written permission before we share any photo of your child, on this site, in newsletters or on social media, and you can change your answer at any time. We never put a child's name with a photo.

Not to start in the twos room. Teachers help at each child's own pace and talk with you about what works at home. In the studio room, children use the toilet on their own, and a teacher helps when a child asks.

A teacher gets down to the child's level, says what they see and stays close. At pickup we tell you what happened, in plain words, and ask what you have noticed too.

A project is a question that a group of children follows for several weeks, such as how shadows move. Teachers watch, ask and offer materials, and the group decides where it goes.

A board in the hallway with photographs and a few lines of a teacher's notes about one project. We never put a child's name on a panel.
