How to Enroll Your Child at Martlet Academy
From your first phone call to your child's first morning in the classroom, here is exactly what enrolling at Martlet Academy looks like.
What Enrolling Looks Like
Choosing childcare is a big decision, and the enrollment process should never add stress to it. At Martlet Academy we keep things simple: a conversation, a tour, some paperwork, and a thoughtful first day. Most families move through it at a comfortable pace, with plenty of room for questions.
It starts with a call or an online tour request. We will ask about your child's age, the schedule you need, and when you would like to start. That helps us point you toward the right classroom and tell you honestly what availability looks like.
Next comes the tour. This is the heart of the process, because no website can show you what a classroom feels like. You will walk the space, see how the teachers interact with the children, and ask anything you like. You can schedule a tour online any time.
If everything feels right, we move on to paperwork and a start date. Nothing is rushed, and there is no pressure to decide during your visit.
Throughout, one person at the school stays your point of contact, so you are never passed around between departments wondering who to ask.
We also know that every family comes to enrollment with a different story. Some are returning to work after parental leave, some are switching from another center, and some are looking for their very first childcare experience. Whatever your situation, we will meet you where you are and move at a pace that feels right.
Your Enrollment Checklist
Six steps from first call to first day.
1. Reach out
Call (702) 608-8177 or book a tour online. Share your child's age and the schedule you need. You can also fill out our general interest form, which is not a commitment to enroll and sends your details straight to our school management system.
2. Tour the campus
Visit 6940 Edna Ave, see the classroom your child would join, and meet the teachers.
3. Confirm availability
We tell you whether a spot is open in your child's age group and when a start date is possible.
4. Complete enrollment paperwork
Typically this includes enrollment forms, emergency contacts, health information, and immunization records.
5. Plan the first day
We share a classroom-specific checklist so you know what to pack and what to expect.
6. Settle in together
Teachers and parents stay in touch through the Brightwheel app, with daily updates, routines, and photos, as your child adjusts.
Preparing for Your Tour and First Day
A little preparation makes your tour more useful. Think about the questions that matter most to your family, such as how teachers handle separation, what a typical day looks like, and how we communicate with parents. Write them down, and bring them along.
It also helps to know your schedule. If you can tell us the days and hours you need and your ideal start date, we can give you a clear answer on fit and availability during the visit itself.
For the first day, we provide a checklist specific to your child's classroom. In general, a labeled change of clothes and a comfort item for naps are good bets, and for infants, bottles or formula as needed.
If your child has allergies, special routines, or particular comfort habits, tell us early. The more our teachers know before the first morning, the more smoothly your child's day will go, and the more confident you will feel when you say goodbye.
Once your child starts, the Brightwheel app keeps you connected to daily updates, routines, and photos. You can read more about each stage on our program pages: Infant, Toddler, Preschool, Kinder Prep, and After School.
Details Parents Often Ask About
Parents often ask what happens if their child has a hard first week. It is completely normal. Some children settle in right away, while others need a few days or even weeks to feel comfortable. Our teachers are experienced with separation anxiety and will work with you on a goodbye routine that helps your child feel secure.
Another frequent question is communication. Once your child is enrolled, you will use the Brightwheel app to see updates on daily updates, routines, and photos. You are also always welcome to call the school with questions during the day.
Families also ask about visiting before the first day. A brief extra visit with your child can make the first morning smoother, since a familiar room and familiar faces help children feel safe. Ask your point of contact about arranging this.
Finally, parents ask about timing. If you are expecting a baby or planning a return to work, tour several months ahead so you can plan around availability. Infant spots are especially limited, and an early conversation gives everyone more flexibility.
Whatever your question is, ask it. There is no such thing as a silly question when it comes to your child.
What If a Classroom Is Full?
Classrooms are kept small on purpose, so spots can fill up, especially in the Infant and Toddler rooms. If your child's age group is full when you call, ask about the next opening and whether we keep a waiting list.
Even when a spot is not immediately available, touring early is smart. It lets you plan your timing and gives us the chance to tell you as soon as something opens up.
You can also review tuition and enrollment for a closer look at costs, or our FAQ for quick answers.
