Due to the Pandemic, we are currently unable to offer AfterCare. Early Bird is offered every day the Nature Preschool is in session except for the first week of school. There is no BeforeCare at this time for children enrolled in the afternoon preschool class.

The daily cost for Early Bird Care is $32 per day. Families may add Early Bird Care later, at a pro-rated amount.

If you are applying for 2021 or later and would like to enroll your child in BeforeCare at this time, please select the appropriate box below:

I am interested in BeforeCare for my child
What days will your family require BeforeCare?
My Child Requires BeforeCare:
- The entire school year
- Only this semester
AfterCare
Due to the pandemic, we are currently unable to offer AfterCare. Typically, enrollment in AfterCare is for a semester or year. While it is not required to enroll now, spots are limited and families electing to enroll in 5 day preschool and AfterCare will be given priority. The Fern Club is open 2-6pm, every day the Nature Preschool is in session.

The cost of AfterCare is as follows:
5 days per week: $102 per day
3 days per week: $102 per day
2 days per week: $102 per day
1 day per week: $120 per day

While students may be picked up at any time, tuition is a flat rate regardless of actual pick up time. There is no AfterCare at this time for children enrolled in the morning preschool class.

If you are applying for 2021 or later and would like to enroll your child in AfterCare, please select the days you will need:

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. 15
Siblings of alumni students; priority given until Feb. 15
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 16 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.

Class days/times and tuition prices are set in December for the following year. If changes are made to current offerings, we will contact you to give you an opportunity to update your preferences. The date of original application submission will be honored.

For more information, contact the Director of Early Childhood Education, Katie Rooney, at RooneyK@ExploreNature.org.
