Enrollment Procedures

Enrollment Procedures*

Applications are accepted year-round and placement is first come, first served. Incomplete applications or those without a paid application fee will not be considered. All applications are considered in the order they are received. Currently attending students returning the next school year and their siblings are offered priority enrollment. Applications for new students will be considered after them, typically in mid-February. 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 if you indicate interest. 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 within 10 business days.

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

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