ENROLLMENT
POLICY
Children aged 2 1/2 to 4 1/2 years old are eligible for admission to our nursery school, with programs offering classes two, three or five days per week. As a general rule, children are placed in their chronological age group. Those in the 2-day-2s (Pinecone) program typically range in age from 2 1/2 to 3. In the 3-day-3s (Acorn) class, children are typically 3 to 3 1/2. In the three 5-day programs the children are typically 3 1/2 to 4 (Sassafras), 4 to 4 1/2 (Oaks) and 4 1/2 to 5 (Maples). Usually if children start ONS as a Pinecone they move to Sassafras the next year and on to Maples the next. Children starting off as Acorns generally become Oaks the following year.
School hours for all programs are from 9 a.m. to 12 p.m. Our optional extended day program (Lunch Bunch) is offered every day from noon until 2 p.m. Early drop-off is available any time after 8 a.m. with no advanced notice required.
PROCEDURE
Beginning in late September for enrollment the following September, parents should call the school to arrange for an appointment to visit with their child while class is in session. At this time parents may fill out an application or take one home to return it by mail. Applications are due, along with a $75 non-refundable application fee, by December 31st of the year prior to enrollment.
