Enrollment Procedures*
Applications are accepted year-round and placement is first come, first served. Incomplete applications will not be considered. All applications are considered in the order they are received. Currently attending students returning the next school year, their siblings, then siblings of alumni are offered priority enrollment. Priority enrollment is given in the following order until the following dates:

Currently attending students (re-enrolling); priority given until Jan. 30
Siblings of re-enrolling students; priority given until Feb. 18
Siblings of alumni students; priority given until Feb. 18
New families in need of AC; priority given until March 1

Applications for new students without an alum in the family will be considered starting February 19 with families seeking AfterCare receiving priority through March 1. If there are open spaces in a class of your choice, we will send a contract for enrollment at that time. If we are unable to place your child in a class of your choice, we will contact you to offer you an alternate choice. Upon receipt of the contract, you must submit the contract and the 10% non-refundable down payment to secure your child’s placement in The Nature Preschool.
