Registration
Welcome to the McLeod Nursery School Registration page! Here, you'll find important information about the eligibility requirements for enrollment, as well as the steps to complete your child’s registration. To ensure your child is ready for nursery school, we have outlined the necessary standards they must meet. Please read through the registration requirements carefully to begin the process of securing a spot for your child. We look forward to welcoming your family to our community!
Is Your Child Ready for Nursery School?
To be eligible for enrollment at McLeod Nursery School, children must be 3 years old by December 31st of the current year to enter the program. All children must be toilet-trained, although pull-ups are acceptable. In the event of a bowel movement accident, parents will be contacted immediately to assist with the change. Children should be able to participate in the classroom without a parent present, follow rules and instructions, interact positively with their peers, and manage transitions smoothly between activities. These guidelines help ensure that children are prepared for a successful and enjoyable experience in the classroom.
Your child is ready for nursery school if they can participate independently, interact well with others, follow rules and instructions, demonstrate self-control, adapt to changes in routine, solve some problems independently, and communicate their needs to both adults and peers. Most children adapt well to the nursery school environment, but in some cases, a two-week probationary period may be required (at the teachers’ discretion). If your child is unable to adjust after this period, alternate arrangements may be requested. In this case, the one-month notice for withdrawal will be waived, but the current month’s tuition will be non-refundable.
**We are now accepting registrations for 5-year-olds currently enrolled in RETSD kindergarten and for 2.5-year-olds who are 2.5 by August 31 of the current school year for our Tues/Thurs AM class.
