Purple Circle Application

We are currently accepting applications for enrollment next fall in 2026.

We understand there is interest in immediate enrollment. Our care is based on a year-long curriculum, so children, including infants, remain together as a cohort in their classrooms from September until the following August. We have limited openings for enrollment mid-year. Please indicate on your application if you are open to early enrollment.

Our Application Process

• We are accepting applications for Fall 2026.
• We want to meet each applicant family! We believe it’s important for prospective parents to visit the school and for us to answer your questions in-person.
• • From November- February, we invite parents who have applied to join us on a small tour guided by a current parent volunteer.
  • From March – September, we accept applications to join our waitlist for enrollment depending on availability. We do not hold regular tours during this time but will contact an applicant family on an as-needed basis as space becomes available.
• The Parent Board votes in January to determine the tuition for the school year beginning in the following September.

• • Applications for tuition assistance are available upon request and are due by January 27, 2026, for first-round acceptance. If you would like to receive a financial assistance form, please include a note on your application.

• What about families who are looking for immediate enrollment? We have limited openings for enrollment mid-year. Please indicate in your application if you are open to early enrollment.

• • At Purple Circle, all children, even infants, begin the school year together in September. Our care is based on a year-long curriculum, so children remain together as a cohort in their classrooms through the following August.
• Purple Circle is a member of the Independent Schools Admissions Association of Greater New York (ISAAGNY). For more information and parent resources through ISAAGNY, please click HERE.
