Page 1 - Prospective Parent Meeting Requirements

Thank you for your interest in joining our school! We have now moved to rolling admissions for the 2025-2026 school year. We are only accepting applications to the preschool classroom (children ages 3-5 years old, who were born before Sept. 1, 2022) at this time. 

This application form should take roughly 30 minutes to complete. It’s okay if you take more time, but we encourage families not to stress or overburden yourself with the process.

A recording of our January Prospective Parent Meeting can be viewed HERE. Please note that now we have moved to rolling admissions, so the school tours and dates referenced in the video are outdated (please disregard).

Page 5 - Interview Process Explained

At this time, we are only accepting applications and offering interviews for IPCP’s preschool classroom (children who are 3-5 years old, born before Sept. 1, 2022). Applications are now being reviewed on a rolling basis. All applications received will be reviewed by members of the IPCP Admissions Committee and scored based on a rubric. Interviews will be offered to families with the highest scores. 


As part of the application process, current IPCP parents interview prospective families. Remote interviews will be individually scheduled with each family. What to expect:


  • A 30 minute meeting

  • A conversation about our school model

  • Guided questions to share information about your child, family and insight on IPCP’s core values

  • A chance to ask questions to ensure IPCP is the right fit for your family


Please Note: interviews are for adults only. All parents/legal guardians are asked to participate in the interview. 


A $100 application fee will be assessed to cover the costs of processing each application. We do not offer refunds if you are not granted an interview.


We will do our best to accommodate your preferred number of days if offered a space but cannot guarantee this.




I have read and understand the above information regarding the interview process.

Page 6 - OPTIONAL demographic survey


As part of IPCP's broader Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion initiatives, we continually seek to understand the representation of families interested in and attending our school. We ask demographic questions as a part of these ongoing data collection efforts.
