REGISTRATION
Bethesda Cooperative Nursery School is open to all, without regard to race, color, religion or national origin. This policy also applies to staff positions and is in compliance with all conditions under Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964.
We begin taking applications for the following school year on the second Wednesday of January at the nursery school’s Open House. (In the event of a weather related closing, the Open House and Registration will be held on the following Wednesday.) All applications received by noon on that day are given equal consideration. Once a class is filled, children are placed on a waiting list. If a child is not accepted from the waiting list by the first day of school parents may choose to keep their child on the list and will be notified should a space become available during the school year. Priority registration is accepted for current students, siblings of current and past students and members of The Church In Bethesda.
To register for the two-year-old class children must turn two by September 1st of that year. To register for the three-year-old class children must turn three by September 1st of that year. To register for a four-year-old class children must turn four by September 1st of that year. Toilet training is not required for any class.
Policies
A non-refundable registration fee is due with the enrollment application. Once a child is officially accepted, one month's non-refundable tuition, together with a signed cooping agreement, is due. This payment covers the tuition for September and the last week of school in June. An annual activity fee is due by the end of the second week of school.
Tuition payments are due at the start of each month and are considered late after the 15th of the month. Parents are responsible for payment of tuition and fees regardless of absence, except in the event of prolonged illness or an absence of several months. Exceptions are at the discretion of the director.
There is a 10% sibling discount, taken off the lower of the two tuitions.
