Scheduled One-on-One Visits
for Parents of Prospective Gnomes

A scheduled visit is the best chance to chat one-on-one with Forest Gnomes teachers, ask probing questions, gain insight into the program’s philosphy and approach, and spend time in the program space. While not required, it is highly suggested to attend one before enrolling to get the true feel and flavor of Forest Gnomes, and to evaluate if it is a good fit for your child and your family. Feel free to bring along your potential gnome! Advance sign up is required. Please email [email protected] to set up your visit.
