Q: Should I schedule an appointment to visit the school?

We accept walk-ins for a tour however if you have the chance to schedule would be better. Try to plan for the morning during the “work time” so you can see how your child would be engaged in our program.

Q: Who can pickup my child?

During the enrollment process, you can fill out with whom you will be authorized to pick-up your child. We can register those people fingerprint in our system after ID check. In the case somebody will pick-up but is not authorized in the system, there are two ways to proceed. The first option is you call us authorizing the pick up for that day, if you didn’t call, we will contact you and ask if the person is authorized to pick-up. In both processes, security questions will be done (as your password registered during enrollment) and ID will be asked for the person picking up, so please make sure the person has a valid ID.

Q: Do you offer part-time schedules?

Yes, we offer part-time for our five days/week plan. We also have availability for 3 days/week. Contact us for details.

Q: Do you accept children with diapers? Do you do Potty Training?

IMK does accept children on diapers, and yes we will do the Potty Training once the child is ready for that. We will always communicate with the parents when is time to start and so we can work together with the parents during this very important process.

Q: What is the classroom schedule, how is your “Nap Time”?

Each classroom has its own schedule, but they all have the “work time”, meals and playground. Quiet Time as also know as Nap Time is a period for the children rest and is not mandatory to nap, some older children don’t nap and so other activities are planed to them.

Q: How many teachers and children do you have in each classroom?

We believe having at least 2 teachers in each classroom is the best fit for a classroom environment. If necessary a third teacher will be there. In average our classrooms have 15 children.
