CILI Guelph offers a small, relationship-centered learning environment where children are guided through a balance of outdoor exploration, artistic work, and foundational academics. We intentionally keep class sizes small to ensure that each child receives individual attention and meaningful connection with their teacher and peers.
“We believe that enrollment is not just about placing a child in a program — it’s about building a relationship with the whole family.”
Families interested in joining CILI Guelph mid-year are warmly invited to connect with us during one of our Registration Weeks.
We understand that sometimes the right learning environment becomes clear partway through the year — and we do our best to welcome new students when space allows.
Registration Weeks for the 2025-2026 school year:
November 4-7, 2025 – Mid-Fall intake
January 6-9, 2026 – Winter intake
March 3-6, 2026 – Early Spring intake

Spaces are limited, and mid-year admissions are considered on a case-by-case basis to ensure a smooth and supportive transition for each child.
Complete our application form or reach out and contact us to introduce your family and share a bit about your child.
We’ll schedule a phone or in-person meeting with Deborah to learn more about your child and answer your questions.
Families and prospective students will meet with Ms. Crispin.
If it feels like a good mutual fit, we will guide you through the registration and onboarding process.
