Welcome to Casa Feliz

As your child’s start date approaches, we’ll walk with you every step of the way. Before their first week, you’ll receive a second set of forms focused on your child’s specific needs, routines, and preferences.

You’ll also be invited for a visit at a special time, when you and your child can meet the teachers, explore the space together, ask any final questions, and get a feel for what life at Casa Feliz will be like.

To welcome your family, we’ll also send you a thoughtful Welcome Package filled with valuable items and resources to help you feel supported from the very beginning.

Enrrolment FAQ.

After the tour, complete the waitlist interest form to join the waitlist.

After enrollment, you’ll receive information to help prepare for your child’s start date, along with a welcome package and next steps.

Casa Feliz currently only accepts infants under six months of age. Because our children stay with us through toddlerhood in small cohort groups, new spots only become available when a child graduates from our oldest group and a space opens in the infant house. For this reason, we cannot provide a specific wait time.
Enrollment opportunities depend on age group transitions and are offered based on availability and tour date. We encourage families to plan ahead and join the waitlist as early as possible.

At Casa Feliz, we do not enroll on short notice. We plan ahead and offer spots based on age group transitions and the expected start dates of families already on our waitlist. When a spot becomes available, we reach out to the next family in line, often months in advance. For example, a family due to start in January might receive an offer several months earlier. Once offered, the family can choose to accept the spot or remain on the waitlist for a later opening. We encourage families to join the waitlist early, especially during pregnancy, so that we can plan together with care and respect.
