CLASS PLACEMENT
Children are placed in classes according to chronological age. The cut-off date is August 31st of the current school year.
At Summit School, we prioritize the developmental needs of children by carefully placing them in classes based on their chronological age, with a cut-off date of August 31st each year. This structured approach ensures that each child is in an environment that supports their growth and learning. Our commitment to excellence is evident as we adhere to and often surpass the best practices guidelines set by the National Association for the Education of Young Children (NAEYC), particularly in maintaining optimal teacher-child ratios. For families seeking more flexibility, we offer an optional Extended Day Program from 12:00 PM to 2:30 PM, which enhances the educational experience for our youngest learners.
