The Registration Process

 

Registration for the 2012-13 school year takes place in January of 2012. Starting on November 28th, new families may call the nursery school office to reserve a spot in an orientation meeting. You will have several opportunities to attend an orientation meeting specific to your child's age. Orientations will begin on January 9, 2012. These meetings are for adults only. At these meetings you will meet the Director, tour the facility, view classrooms and learn of our curriculum and teaching philosophy. You will be able to register at this time or take the form with you to return later. All registration forms must be turned in no later than Friday, January 20th. Any registration forms received after this date will automatically be placed on the waitlist. You must attend at least one orientation to register your child. If you have already attended one, you may pick up a registration form in the nursery school office, starting January 3rd. You will be notified of acceptance into the program or placement on the waitlist by the end of January. If accepted, signed contracts and first tuition payment are due by noon on February 13th.

 

Please call 203-655-3223 starting November 28th, to sign up for orientations. You may also click below to sign up for January 2012 Orientations.
