Enrollment for Academic Year 2025-2026

Morningstar Learning Center’s mission is to provide excellent and affordable early childhood education to serve and strengthen the greater Big Sky community. 

Our school operates year-round using an academic calendar (September through August). We require a minimum enrollment of four days a week, Monday through Thursday, from 8:30am-4pm. We also offer limited Extended Day spots from 4pm-5:30pm and limited Friday enrollment spots from 8:30am-3:45pm. Enrolled families are eligible to add drop-in after care and Fridays, based on our availability.

Any family who wishes to enroll a new infant at age 3 months is advised to notify Morningstar at the earliest opportunity with the expected birth and enrollment dates. Infants will be placed on a waitlist for their expected month of enrollment, and spots will be assigned based on availability in order of our admission priorities.
