Why did you chose Takoma Children's School and how do you think your child would benefit from the Takoma Children's School educational philosophy?*
TCS welcomes a diverse group of children. Please describe any special needs (e.g. motor, language/speech, psychological, emotional, social) that we should be aware of.
Family Involvement
Although TCS is not a co-operative pre-school, we are a non-profit community school that thrives on the support, involvement, and knowledge of the students' families. This is also a critical part of the Reggio Emilia philosophy. Families are essential in supporting the strength and continuity of the school.
Please explain how you would see your family contributing to the TCS community. Please include examples of past school involvement if applicable.*
