Start with
three weeks.

Spring is run by an educator with graduate training and years in licensed classrooms. Even so, choosing a program without a long record remains a challenge for a family. Based on our own training and ability, we are introducing a three-week trial — lowering the cost of that choice, and letting you judge from inside the classroom whether we are worth your trust.

Three weeks. Nothing to pay to start.
No deposit, no tuition up front, no registration fee.

B.A. & M.A. in Early Child Development · 8+ years in licensed ECE · Open to our first eight enrolled families.

Three weeks first.
Then you decide.

Our first eight enrolled families begin with a three-week trial. Nothing is due before your child starts, and nothing is owed if you decide not to continue.

Three weeks — 15 days of attendance

At the end you decide: continue, and the deposit and your first month's tuition are due within three business days — or stop, and you pay nothing.

Registration fee waived

The one-time $100 fee, in full. The deposit and tuition are not waived — they are simply not paid unless you decide to continue.

The paperwork doesn't change

A licensing requirement, and a protection for your child.

One week shows you whether your child has settled. Three shows you what they've started caring about.

Your Visit

We meet with one
family at a time.

Tours are by appointment and run about 45 minutes. We walk you through an ordinary morning, show you the space, and answer every question you brought with you.

Tuition and the full Founding Families terms are covered during your visit.

The best way to understand Spring is to be inside it for an hour.

One family, full attention

No group tours. Every visit is with our Founder & Curriculum Director — B.A. and M.A., San Francisco State University.

45 minutes

Enough time to see the space, understand the rhythm, and ask what matters to you.

No Mandarin required

Families who don't speak Mandarin are equally welcome. We'll explain how immersion works for every family.

Ask about the trial

We'll walk you through how the three weeks work and what the paperwork requires before day one.

Three weeks, then
you decide.

Start with a visit. One family, one conversation, forty-five minutes.
