Admissions
Join the MalaMa family
We make admissions simple and supportive. Start with a tour, meet our teachers, and weโll guide you through the next steps for enrollment.
How it works
Admissions steps
Every familyโs needs are unique. Hereโs what to expect from first hello to first day.
1) Reach out
Send a quick message to request a tour and tell us your childโs age and the schedule youโre looking for.
2) Tour & meet the team
Visit our space, see classrooms in action, and ask questions about routines, meals, naps, and learning.
3) Enrollment details
Weโll confirm availability, share required forms, and review start dates, tuition, and policies.
4) Welcome & transition
Weโll plan a gentle transition so your child feels comfortable, confident, and cared for from day one.
What to prepare
What youโll need for enrollment
To keep things easy, weโll help you gather everything step-by-step. Typical items include:
Family & child information
Emergency contacts, authorized pickups, and any allergies or care notes we should know.
Health & readiness forms
Immunization records and any required health documentation, plus a quick routine overview (nap, meals, comfort items).
Admissions FAQs
Questions are welcomeโthese are some of the most common ones we hear from families.
What ages do you accept?
We welcome children across early childhood ages, with classrooms and activities tailored to each stage of development.
Do you offer tours?
Yes. Tours are the best way to see our environment, meet staff, and talk through your childโs needs.
Is there a waitlist?
Availability can vary by age group and schedule. If a spot isnโt open right away, we can add you to our waitlist and keep you updated.
What are your hours and schedule options?
We offer schedule options designed for working families. Share your preferred days/times and weโll confirm whatโs currently available.
What should my child bring?
Typically: a labeled water bottle, a change of clothes, and any comfort item for rest time. Weโll send a full checklist after enrollment.
How do you support a smooth transition?
We use a gentle, child-led approachโconsistent routines, warm introductions, and close communication with families during the first weeks.
