Your first visit

Feeling unsure the first time is normal. Most groups are glad when someone new walks in.

First step: Fill out the first step of the Enroll Now application at upliftworld.org, or call 267-226-9748 with questions before you start..

You need to sign up first.

What to expect

UPLIFT Academy is a Montessori-style early learning center for children from 6 weeks to 12 years old, with a focus on early literacy and hands-on learning. The application asks about your child's current school or daycare, and the site does not say how long a school day is, what tuition costs, or whether tours are offered. Call to ask about these before you apply.

Tips for your first visit

  • Have a state ID, passport, or driver's license ready for each parent or guardian and each emergency contact, since the form asks for an upload.
  • If your child attended a daycare, have the names of the last three, because the school contacts them before admission.
  • Pick an anticipated start date, since the form asks for one.

Newcomer welcome

Takes some effort for newcomers (2 out of 5). Why we say this: Families fill out an application before they see the school, and the site does not mention tours or open houses..
