You can make a difference!

We rely on word-of-mouth marketing because people tend to trust someone who gives them a referral based on their own positive experiences. Please help us to spread the word about Thacher by letting your friends and neighbors know about our upcoming Admissions events.

If you belong to Facebook or a private chat group, please post our flyers electronically. We also have postcards at the front desk if you want to post them at your favorite coffee shop or cafe.

TPC (Thacher Parent Council) Notice
The Parent Council will be partnering with Sayer Base Camp for Thacher days off on 10/31, 11/1, and 11/2 for children who are 5+. Stay tuned for sign ups on the Thacher Parent Facebook page and a blast email from the school.

The groups will be split by age. Sayer is a Scout Camp in the woods off Unquity Road (5 minutes from Thacher) with awesome facilities. The program will include nature programming, STEM programming, crafts (basket making, weaving...). It looks like it will be $35 a day per kid (8:00 am -3:30 pm).  

The Parent Council is still looking at options for 3-4 year olds, so stay tuned.
