Wildflower Cottage is a full-day program, open 7:30 a.m. to 5:30 p.m., Monday through Friday, 12 months per year (excluding holidays, teacher workdays, and scheduled professional development).

We have 3 classrooms--Toddlers, Middlers, and Preschoolers.  We serve children between the ages of 1 year and 5 years.

Typically, Summer/Fall enrollment occurs around March:

1. Families currently enrolled are given priority to renew their commitment for the following year, including any additional siblings.
2. Families on the Waitlist are then offered spaces (with attention to date of entry on the Waitlist and priority--siblings, staff/board children, Duke affiliation, ethnic/racial demographics, and property owners within 1000 feet of Wildflower Cottage).
3. If there are any remaining spaces available after exhausting the Waitlist, spaces will then be offered "first come, first served."  

Enrollment may occasionally occur in the middle of a program year, if/when a space becomes available.  

Upon acceptance of a space, families will provide an advance tuition deposit equal to one month of tuition.
