Enrollment Process
We accept enrollment applications year-round.
Thorne Nature Preschool is enrolling now for future school years and has a waitlist. We encourage families to complete an interest form as soon as possible, when their child is two years old or younger.
If you are interested in enrolling, please follow the steps below.
1. Fill out the short Enrollment Interest Form
2. Attend an Open House & submit an application
Once your interest form is reviewed we will send you a link to sign up for an open house/tour. Our open houses start with a program overview and Q&A, followed by a tour of our nature center and surrounding areas. They last about an hour and are a great way to see our magical program in action!
If you feel Thorne Nature Preschool is a good fit for your family after attending an Open House, you can submit an application. The link to the application form will be shared following the Open House.
Applications to Thorne Nature Preschool will be accepted regardless of race, color, sex, gender identity, religion, handicap, political persuasion, national origin, or ancestry.
3. Complete registration forms and deposit
If we determine our program is a good match for your family, we’ll offer you a spot. To accept, simply complete the online registration, sign the enrollment contract, and pay the enrollment fee and deposit to secure your child’s place. Health and immunization records (or exemption forms) are also required to complete enrollment.
